How to use the HTML entities list

Type a word (copyright), an entity name (euro), a symbol (©) or a number (8364) into the filter box.
Use the group buttons, such as Arrows, Currency or Greek, to show one kind of character.
Click the character, its named code, or its decimal or hex code to copy it, then paste it into your HTML.

Named and numeric entities

Every character can be written as a number. Some also have a name. The copyright sign, for example, is © (named), © (decimal) or © (hex). The numbers are the character’s Unicode code point, shown in the Unicode column as U+00A9, so any character has a numeric entity. Names are a convenience that only some characters have.

HTML5 defines more than 2,000 names. This table has all 252 from HTML 4, which cover Latin-1 letters, Greek, math symbols and arrows, plus the HTML5 names people reach for most, such as &check;, ' and &half;.

The five you must escape

Character	Entity	When
&	`&`	Always in text, since it starts an entity
<	`<`	Always in text, since it starts a tag
>	`>`	Not strictly required, but escaped by convention
“	`"`	Inside attribute values in double quotes
’	`'` or `'`	Inside attribute values in single quotes

' comes from XML and is standard in HTML5. ' does the same job and also works in very old browsers. To escape a whole block of text at once, paste it into the HTML entity encoder.

When you don’t need entities

If a page is saved as UTF-8 and declares <meta charset="utf-8">, which almost every page does today, you can type é, €, ½ or → straight into the HTML. Entities are still handy for characters you can’t see or can’t tell apart:   for a space that must not break,  for a soft hyphen that only appears when a word wraps, and – or − where a plain hyphen would look the same in the source.

Questions

What is the HTML code for the copyright symbol?

What does   do?

It’s a non-breaking space. It looks like a normal space, but the browser won’t wrap a line there, so it keeps pairs like “10 kg” or “Figure 3” together. Several in a row also aren’t collapsed into one, though CSS margins and padding are the better way to add space.

Are entity names case sensitive?

Yes. É gives É and é gives é, and a name in the wrong case may not work at all. Copy names exactly as they appear in the table.

Should I use named or numeric entities?

Both work in every current browser. Names are easier to read in the source, but they only exist for some characters. Numeric codes work for any Unicode character, including emoji, because the number is simply the character’s code point.

Do I need the semicolon at the end?

Yes, always add it. Browsers accept a few old names such as &amp without one for backwards compatibility, but most names need it, and without it the browser can match a different name than the one you meant.
