HTML Named Character Entities

HTML defines 237 named character entity references — shorthand like &, <, ©, and &hearts; that resolve to specific Unicode characters. Named entities are defined in the HTML5 specification and are supported in all modern browsers. Every character below also has a numeric form — decimal (©) or hex (©) — which works in XML and HTML alike. Click any row to see full encoding details.
