What are HTML Entities?

HTML entities are special codes used to display reserved characters in HTML. They prevent the browser from interpreting these characters as HTML code.

Why use them? Some characters are reserved in HTML and have special meaning. For example, the less-than sign (<) starts an HTML tag. To display it as text, use <
