Tutorial #08 : Numbered HTML Entities : html for beginners

HTML entities are special characters that can be used in HTML and XML documents to display characters that are not part of the standard ASCII character set. These entities are represented by a combination of the ampersand (&) symbol, a letter or a name, and a semicolon (;). For example, the HTML entity for the copyright symbol (©) is "©".

Numbered HTML entities are a specific type of entity that use a numeric code instead of a letter or name to represent the character. These codes are usually in the form of a decimal or hexadecimal number. For example, the decimal number for the copyright symbol (©) is "©".

Using HTML entities can be useful in situations where the special character is not available on the keyboard or when you want to ensure that the special character is displayed consistently across different browsers and devices.

By understanding HTML Entities, developers can able to handle special characters in different languages such as Greek,Chinese,Arabic,emoji and etc. and also it helps to handle reserved html keywords as well.
