Frequently Asked Questions
The HTML Entity Finder lets you search for HTML entities by name, character, or codepoint. Results show the named entity (©), decimal reference (©), and hex reference (©), all copyable in one click.
Type a descriptive word into the HTML Entity Finder search box (e.g., 'arrow', 'copyright', 'heart', 'degree') and matching entities appear instantly. The search matches against entity names and descriptions.
Yes — paste the actual character (e.g., ©, €, or ✓) directly into the search field and the HTML Entity Finder will match it to its entity record, showing you the named entity, decimal, and hex forms.
© is the named HTML entity, readable and memorable. © is the decimal numeric character reference. © is the hexadecimal numeric character reference. All three render identically in browsers; named entities are preferred when they exist because they are more readable.
Yes — the tool includes common Greek letters (α, β, π, etc.), mathematical operators (×, ÷, ∞, ∑), and symbols commonly used in scientific and academic HTML documents.
Named entities guarantee correct rendering regardless of the page's character encoding and are clearly readable in HTML source. For UTF-8 encoded pages (the modern standard) you can paste characters directly, but entities remain useful for reserved characters like <, >, and & which must be escaped.
The four characters that must always be escaped in HTML content are & (&), < (<), > (>), and " (") in attribute values. Failing to escape these can break HTML parsing or create security vulnerabilities.
Yes — type a codepoint like U+00A9 or a decimal reference like © into the search box and the tool will find the matching entity. This is useful when you have a codepoint from another source and need the corresponding HTML entity.
Yes — the tool includes (non-breaking space),   (en space),   (em space),   (thin space), ‌ (zero-width non-joiner), ‍ (zero-width joiner), and directional marks like ‎ and ‏.
The HTML Entity Finder is a searchable reference for all named HTML entities, optimized for finding the right entity by concept or character. The Encoding Converter takes any character you input and generates all encoding formats (HTML, CSS, JS, Python) for that specific character.
