About the HTML Entities Reference

A searchable reference of HTML named entities with their numeric character references and glyphs — symbols, arrows, math, Latin-1 characters — plus the printable ASCII set.

Frequently asked questions

When do I need named entities?

When a character is reserved in HTML (& < >) or when your editor or protocol cannot carry the raw character safely.

Are numeric references always available?

Yes — every Unicode character has a numeric reference; names are a convenience for a few thousand of them.
