About HTML Entity Chart
A lookup chart of the 130 HTML named entities you actually use, grouped into basic characters, spaces, punctuation, currency, maths, arrows and Greek letters. Click any row to copy the character itself.
Three things that trip people up. First, & must be written as & in source — a bare ampersand makes the browser treat what follows as the start of an entity name. Second, < and > need escaping as < and >, or the browser parses them as tags. Third, does more than render a space: it prevents a line break there, which is how you keep something like "100 km" from splitting across two lines.
Every row shows the named form alongside its decimal and hex equivalents. Named entities are the most readable but not every character has one; decimal and hex work for any Unicode character, and they are what you need for rarer symbols.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between & and a bare &?
They render the same. But in source you must write &, otherwise what follows may be read as part of an entity name.
How is different from a normal space?
It does not break. The two words it joins stay on the same line, which is handy between a number and its unit.
Named entity or decimal — which should I use?
Prefer the named form for readability. Symbols without a name (many emoji and rarer glyphs) only have decimal or hex.
HTML5 defines over 2000 named entities — why only 130 here?
This chart keeps to what you actually meet writing pages. Listing every obscure one would just make it harder to find.
