Frequently asked questions

Which characters absolutely must be HTML-escaped?
At minimum escape <, >, &, and double quotes inside attribute values - those four prevent the parser from breaking out of the current context. Single quotes also need escaping inside single-quoted attributes.
What's the difference between named and numeric HTML entities?
Named entities like &amp; are readable shortcuts, while numeric entities like &#38; or &#x26; reference Unicode code points directly. Numeric form works for any character; named entities only exist for a fixed list.
Do I need to encode emoji or other Unicode characters?
No, modern HTML served as UTF-8 handles emoji and most Unicode natively without entity encoding. Only escape characters that have syntactic meaning in HTML or that your target encoding cannot represent.
