# Encoded or decoded result will appear here...
HTML entities are used to display reserved characters and symbols that would otherwise be interpreted as HTML code:
- Encoding: Converts symbols like
<to<and>to>. This is essential for security and displaying code snippets. - Decoding: Converts entities back into their original character form for editing or reading.
- Common Entities:
&for &,"for ", and for a non-breaking space.

If you paste raw HTML tags into a blog post, the browser will try to render them as part of the page layout. Encoding ensures the tags are shown as plain text.
