What are HTML entities?

HTML entities are special codes used to represent characters that have special meaning in HTML, like (greater than), & (ampersand), and special characters like © (copyright), € (euro), etc.

When should I encode HTML entities?

Encode HTML entities when displaying user-generated content on web pages to prevent XSS attacks, or when you need to display HTML code as text rather than render it.
