An HTML entity is a special code representation used to display reserved or reserved-like characters in HTML documents.  These entities start with an ampersand (&) and end with a semicolon (;).  There are two options for encoding HTML entities: using entity names and using entity numbers:

  • Encoding with Entity Names: In this method, special characters are represented by their corresponding entity names, which are easy to remember and more human-readable. For example: the entity name &lt; is used to encode the less-than symbol <.
  •  Encoding with Entity Numbers: In this method, special characters are represented by their corresponding numeric references in the Unicode character set. The numeric reference can be either decimal or hexadecimal. For example: the numeric character references &#62; and &#x3E; both represent the greater-than symbol >.

Other Often Used  HTML Character Entities:

"	&#34;	&#x22;	&quot;	quotation mark (APL quote)
&	&#38;	&#x26;	&amp;	ampersand
'	&#39;	&#x27;	&apos;	apostrophe (apostrophe-quote)
	&#160;	&#xA0;	&nbsp;	no-break space (non-breaking space)

Decoding HTML entities is necessary when you receive or retrieve HTML content containing characters represented by these entities, and you want to display these characters in their original form.  Situations requiring such decoding include handling user input or API responses, transforming database content into HTML code, etc.
