Frequently Asked Questions

What are HTML entities? +

HTML entities are codes used to represent characters that have special meaning in HTML, or characters that are difficult to type. For example, < becomes <, > becomes >, & becomes &, and © becomes ©. They prevent browsers from misinterpreting content as markup.

What is the difference between named and numeric entities? +

Named entities use descriptive names (&, ©, ®). Numeric decimal entities use the character's Unicode code point (&#38; for &). Numeric hex entities use the hex form (&). All three represent the same characters; named is most readable, numeric works for any character.

What does "encode only non-ASCII" mean? +

When enabled, only characters outside the standard ASCII range (above code point 127) are encoded. ASCII-safe HTML characters like < > & are left as-is. Useful when you want to safely include international text in HTML without encoding every character.

When should I encode HTML entities? +

Always encode user-generated content before inserting it into HTML to prevent XSS attacks. Encode characters in HTML attributes, especially those that accept URLs. Encode < > & " in any text that will be rendered inside HTML tags.

Is my text sent to a server? +

No. All encoding and decoding runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device.
