Entity Types Explained

Named Entities: Human-readable names like &copy; for ©, &euro; for €, and &nbsp; for non-breaking space. These are the most common and easiest to recognize.

Decimal Entities: Use the decimal Unicode code point, formatted as &#NNN; where NNN is the decimal number. For example, &#169; represents © (code point 169).

Hexadecimal Entities: Use the hex Unicode code point, formatted as &#xHH; where HH is the hex number. For example, &#xA9; represents © (hex A9 = decimal 169).
