Lm7. Special Character Entities

Entities in HTML are used to display reserved characters and special symbols correctly in browsers. They are written as &code; and help prevent errors by ensuring that characters like <, >, and & are interpreted as text rather than HTML code. There are three types of entities: named, numeric, and hexadecimal, each serving to represent characters in different ways.

ENTITIES
 Entities are used to display reserved characters or
special symbols in HTML.
 Entities ensure these characters are displayed
correctly in a browser instead of being
misinterpreted as part of the HTML code.
 Entities are written as &code; where code
represents the entity name or number.
WHY USE ENTITIES?
Reserved Characters:
Some characters, like <, >, and &, are used in HTML
tags. To display them as text, you need to use
entities.
Non-Keyboard Characters:
Some symbols, such as © or €, are not easily typed
on a keyboard, so their entities are used.
Prevent Code Errors:
Using entities avoids errors caused by browsers
interpreting special characters as HTML code.
TYPES OF ENTITIES
Named Entities
Use a descriptive name for the character.

Example: Result Description Name


< less than lt
> greater than gt
© copyright copy
Numeric Entities
Use a numeric code to represent the character.

Example: Result Description Dec Hex


₱ peso sign 8369 20B1
😉 winking face 128521 1F609
Hexadecimal Entities
Use a hexadecimal code with a #x prefix.

Example: Result Description Dec Hex


₱ peso sign 8369 20B1
😉 winking face 128521 1F609
