Which HTML entities are decoded?

The tool decodes all common named entities (&, <, >, ", ', ') as well as decimal (<) and hexadecimal (<) numeric character references.

Does it support numeric entities?

Yes. Both decimal entities like © (copyright symbol) and hexadecimal entities like © are fully supported and converted to their corresponding Unicode characters.

When should I use HTML decoding?

Use HTML decoding when you need to read or process text that was previously HTML-encoded, such as content extracted from HTML source code, API responses with escaped HTML, or database records containing HTML entities.
