FAQ
What is the HTML entity for the ampersand (or any character)?
&. Search any entity, character or name on this page and the mapping appears instantly, offline — © is ©, → is →, is a non-breaking space, and so on.
When do I need HTML entities?
To display characters that are special in HTML (like < > &) as text rather than markup, or to insert symbols not on your keyboard. This reference gives the named entity for each.
Is anything uploaded?
No — the table is bundled and searched on your device; it works offline.
How do I show a literal < in HTML?
Use < — searchable here along with the other special characters.
Limits
Covers common named entities. Every character also has a numeric entity, which the ASCII/Unicode table provides.
