What are HTML entities?
Some characters are reserved in HTML. For example, if you use < or > symbols in your text, the browser may assume them as the markup. To solve this issue, you can use HTML entities.
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML entities</title>
</head>
<body>
<h4>This will be shown as a heading</h4>
<h4>This will be shown as the markup</h4>
</body>
</html>Output
This will be shown as a heading
<h4>This will be shown as the markup</h4>
