HTML Entity Decoder

Decode named and numeric HTML entities such as &, <, ₹ and 😀 back into readable characters.

What is the HTML Entity Decoder?

Text copied from web page source or APIs often contains entities instead of characters.

How does it work?

Named entities are looked up in a table and numeric references (decimal or hex) are converted to Unicode code points. Unknown entities are left unchanged. Nothing is rendered as HTML.

Example

<p>₹1,499</p> decodes to <p>₹1,499</p>.
