Searchable list of HTML named entities.
HTML Entities Reference is a searchable list of common HTML named entities, showing each entity name (like ©), the character it renders (©), and a short description. Type a keyword such as "copy", "arrow", or "euro" to filter the table and quickly find the named char you need. It is handy whenever you need to escape special characters or look up the right entity code for markup.
No. This reference runs entirely in your browser and the entity list is built into the page. Nothing you type into the search box is uploaded or sent anywhere.
The filter is case-insensitive and matches the text you enter against both the entity name (such as ©) and its description (such as "copyright"). It does a simple substring match, so partial words like "arr" will match all arrow entities.
No. It is a curated reference of around 60 common named entities, including the reserved characters, currency symbols, typographic marks, arrows, and a handful of math and suit symbols. It is not the full HTML5 entity specification.
Named entities are required to escape reserved characters such as &, <, and >, and some teams prefer them for clarity or to avoid encoding issues. For most other characters you can use the raw character directly when your document is UTF-8 encoded.
Each row lists three things: the named entity reference (for example €), the character it produces (€), and a short human-readable description (euro).
