HTML Entities Reference: Search and Copy Entity Codes
The HTML Entities Reference is a searchable table of common HTML character entities, with named, decimal, and hexadecimal forms shown side by side. Search by entity name, code, or the character itself, then click the form you need to copy it for use in HTML. It gives you a quick HTML entity lookup without relying on memory or retyping codes.
The HTML Entities Reference is a searchable HTML entity reference for developers who need to identify and copy common character entities. It displays the named, decimal, and hexadecimal forms side by side, so you can compare representations and choose the one that fits your HTML.
To find a value, search by its name, code, or character, or scroll through the table. When you locate the right entry, click the form you want to copy it for pasting into HTML. Showing all three forms together makes it easier to verify a remembered entity spelling or select a numeric code without manually retyping it.
HTML uses character entities to represent characters in markup; named, decimal, and hexadecimal references are different ways to express an entity. This reference is useful when writing or reviewing HTML and you need to check the exact form. Looking up a code can prevent mistakes caused by guessing a name or confusing the numeric forms.
The reference runs entirely in your browser, and your input is not uploaded, stored, or sent to a server. It has no server dependency, so after the page has loaded it continues to work offline. The tool is free, and you can look up entity forms without sending your search to a server.
Frontend developers, content authors, and anyone editing HTML can use it as a quick companion to an editor. Whether you are checking an entity you half-remember or copying a value into markup, the searchable table keeps common forms easy to find.
Step 1: Search the table by entity name, code, or the character itself, or scroll to browse the available entries.
Step 2: Compare the named, decimal, and hexadecimal forms shown side by side to find the representation you need.
Step 3: Click the form you want to copy it, ready to paste into your HTML.
Step 4: Paste the copied entity into your markup and check that it is the form you intended to use.
