What are HTML entities?

HTML entities are codes that start with an ampersand and end with a semicolon, for example &amp; for &. They let you safely insert characters that have special meaning in HTML, like angle brackets, quotes and ampersands, without breaking the markup.

What gets converted?

  • Reserved characters & < > " ' are always encoded.
  • Common accents: é becomes &eacute;, and the Turkish letters ç, ğ, ı, ö, ş, ü and İ get proper entities.
  • All other characters are passed through unchanged.

FAQ

  • Is my data sent anywhere? No — encoding and decoding run entirely in your browser.
  • Why does ' become &#39;? The apostrophe is encoded as a numeric entity so it is safe inside single-quoted attributes.
  • Can I decode any entity? Yes, standard named and numeric entities are decoded back to their characters.
