HTML හි ආරක්ෂිතව භාවිත කිරීමට පෙළ escape කරන්න, නැතහොත් HTML entities නැවත අක්ෂර බවට හරවන්න.

Need to type these characters instead? The special characters page lets you copy them with one click.
HTML entities are codes that represent characters in HTML. They start with & and end with ;, such as < for < or © for ©. They let you show characters that would otherwise be read as HTML code, or that are hard to type.
In page text, always encode < and &. Inside attribute values, also encode the quote character used around the value (" or '). Encoding > is optional but common. Everything else, including emoji, can be written directly in a UTF-8 page.
Named entities such as é are easier to read, but only exist for some characters. Numeric entities such as é (decimal) or é (hex) work for every Unicode character.
Encoding < > & " and ' is the right defense when inserting untrusted text into HTML content or quoted attributes. It is not enough inside <script> blocks, URLs or CSS, which need their own escaping.
