HTML Entity Table Generator

Search HTML named character references by name, symbol or code point. Review decimal and hex sequences, filter legacy spellings, and export every match.

Choose your path

Built around the job you need to finish

Search a pinned WHATWG named-character-reference catalog and export exact named, decimal and hexadecimal sequences including aliases and multiple code points.

Frontend developer

Find a character reference without confusing aliases or letter case.

Search a name or character, switch search case, inspect the named and numeric forms and copy a reference.

Search convenience does not imply case-insensitive HTML names.

Technical writer using uncommon symbols

Keep every code point in a multi-character reference.

Search U+2242 U+0338 or NotEqualTilde, compare decimal and hex sequences, export JSON.

Both code points are present and exact strings survive export.

Mobile compatibility reviewer

Inspect legacy spellings and a complete filtered catalog.

Opt into legacy names, change point filters, page through results and request the full export.

Missing semicolons are labeled legacy and pagination never truncates output.

Reference & details

How it works

Use a traceable source snapshot

The local dataset was retrieved from WHATWG on August 25, 2026, with its source SHA-256 recorded. It contains 2,231 spellings: 2,125 semicolon-terminated names and 106 legacy spellings.

Search names or exact point sequences

Find name fragments with optional case sensitivity, literal characters, U+ notation or semicolon-terminated decimal/hex numeric sequences. Numeric queries accept leading zeros; multiple points must match the complete sequence.

Review every point and export all matches

Decimal and hexadecimal forms are derived from Unicode code points, not UTF-16 halves. Preview 25 matches per page. Markdown emits literal reference text; JSON retains exact character strings and source metadata. All matches are exported.

Example Scenarios

Find a character reference without confusing aliases or letter case. Search a name or character, switch search case, inspect the named and numeric forms and copy a reference.

Keep every code point in a multi-character reference. Search U+2242 U+0338 or NotEqualTilde, compare decimal and hex sequences, export JSON.

Inspect legacy spellings and a complete filtered catalog. Opt into legacy names, change point filters, page through results and request the full export.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Copying only one numeric value from a multi-point name

Keep the complete decimal or hexadecimal sequence.

Using legacy names for new HTML

Use a semicolon-terminated name and check the destination parsing context.

FAQ

No. Ignore-case search is only a lookup convenience. Names such as Aacute and aacute can represent different characters; copy the exact semicolon-terminated spelling you need.

The WHATWG catalog includes multi-code-point replacements. For example NotEqualTilde includes U+2242 and U+0338. Both numeric references are required to reproduce that sequence.

They omit the trailing semicolon and are hidden by default. Their parsing depends on HTML context. Use semicolon-terminated references in new content; this lookup does not simulate parser recovery.

Yes. Use U+ notation, numeric references or the exact character sequence. Quoted display exposes tabs, newlines and selected invisible controls. A font glyph is not proof of the code points.

No. Copy and Markdown/JSON downloads include every filtered match. The 120-character search and selected filters must be run again after editing. This is a reference lookup, not a decoder, sanitizer or automatic Project save.

About HTML Entity Table Generator

Look up uncommon references using a dated WHATWG snapshot, including aliases, astral symbols and names that expand to multiple code points. Review literal strings instead of executing HTML.
