🔣 HTML Entities & Symbols
Last Updated: 01 Nov 2025
HTML Entities are special codes used to display characters that have reserved meaning in HTML or cannot be typed directly.
For example:
<is used to start a tag — so if you write it directly, browser gets confused.- To show it as text, use entity code
<→ displays<.
✅ Entities always start with & and end with ;.
<p>2 < 5 and 10 > 2</p>
🗣 Hinglish Tip: Entity = HTML ka secret code jo special character ko safely show karta hai 🧩
