Safe characters in HTML

FAQ

What are HTML entities for?

They let you display characters that have special meaning in HTML (like < or &) or characters outside ASCII (accents, é, ñ, symbols) without the browser interpreting them as code.

Does it decode numeric entities too?

Yes — both named entities (&) and numeric ones, in decimal (é) and hexadecimal (é).

Does this tool send my text anywhere?

No. Encoding and decoding both run locally in your browser; nothing is uploaded to a server.
