HTML Entity Reference

Common HTML character entities

What does this tool do?

The HTML Entity Reference is a searchable table of 30 of the most-used HTML entities, listing each one with its named code (©) and numeric code (©). It lets web developers and content editors quickly find the correct code for special symbols like ©, →, € or — and copy it with a single click.

How to use it

  1. Enter an address, domain or value.
  2. View the results instantly.
  3. Copy the details you need.

How to use it

Type a symbol's name (for example copyright), its entity code (€) or the character itself into the search box to filter the list instantly. Each card shows the symbol in large type, its named code and a short description. Clicking the named code copies it straight to your clipboard, so pasting it into your markup takes only seconds. Everything runs in your browser.

Which symbols are included

The table covers markup-critical characters (< > & " '), currencies (€ £ ¥ ¢), math symbols (± × ÷ ½ ¼), arrows (→ ← ↑ ↓), typographic marks (— – … •) and decorative glyphs (★ ♥ ✓). For each one it lists both the memorable named code and the universally supported numeric equivalent, so you can use them safely even in older systems.

Frequently asked questions

Should I use named or numeric codes?

Named codes (&copy;) are easier to read and work fine in modern browsers. Numeric codes (&#169;) are universally supported across all environments, so prefer numeric ones for email or legacy systems.

How do I copy an entity?

Just click the named code on a card (for example &trade;). It is copied to your clipboard instantly, ready to paste straight into your HTML.
