What is HTML Entity Encoder / Decoder?
HTML reserves characters like <, >, &, and quotes. To include them literally in HTML content you must escape them as entities. This tool encodes those characters and optionally encodes non-ASCII with numeric references for maximum compatibility.
FAQ
- Which style should I use?
- Minimal is best for most web content. Use Numeric for ASCII-only output (older systems).
- Does it support all Unicode characters?
- Yes. Any Unicode character can be encoded to its numeric entity. Named entities cover the most common HTML symbols and characters.
- Is my text sent to a server for processing?
- No — encoding and decoding happen entirely in your browser. Nothing leaves your device.
