HTML Symbols refer to the special characters that have a particular meaning in HTML and cannot be directly used in HTML documents. To display these symbols, we use their corresponding entity names or numbers. Here’s an article that will explain HTML Symbols with syntax and examples.

HTML Symbol Syntax: The syntax for HTML symbols is as follows:

• For entity names, use the ‘&’ symbol followed by the entity name and ending with a ‘;’
• For entity numbers, use the ‘&#’ symbol followed by the entity number and ending with a ‘;’

Here are some commonly used HTML symbols with their entity names and numbers:
