HTML Character Codes — Complete Entity Reference & Search

HTML has reserved characters that carry special meaning in markup, and thousands of special symbols that require entity codes to display correctly. Remembering the right entity code — whether it is &copy; or &#169; or &#xA9; — is impractical without a reference. This complete HTML Character Codes reference lets you search, filter, and instantly copy any HTML entity, from basic symbols to mathematical operators, currency symbols, arrows, fractions, and emoji.

Search by character name, symbol, or code to find exactly what you need. Each entry shows the entity name, decimal code, hex code, and a live preview of the character as it renders in HTML. Click any entity to copy it to clipboard.

HTML entities are also critical for SEO — search engines read entity codes correctly, so using &amp; in URLs and &lt;/&gt; in code examples ensures your content is parsed exactly as intended and does not create unexpected HTML structure in your pages.

Most Used HTML Entities

Essential markup characters. &lt; (<), &gt; (>), &amp; (&), &quot; ("), &apos; (') — required to display these characters as text rather than HTML.

Spacing. &nbsp; (non-breaking space), &ensp; (en space), &emsp; (em space), &thinsp; (thin space) — control spacing without CSS.

Typography. &mdash; (— em dash), &ndash; (– en dash), &hellip; (… ellipsis), &laquo; («), &raquo; (»), &ldquo; ("), &rdquo; (").

Symbols. &copy; (©), &reg; (®), &trade; (™), &euro; (€), &pound; (£), &yen; (¥), &cent; (¢), &deg; (°).

When do I need them?

To display HTML-reserved characters as text, and to include special symbols reliably across all browsers.

Named vs numeric entities?

Named = descriptive (&copy;). Numeric = decimal/hex codes. All Unicode has numeric codes; only common chars have names.

Is this free?
