About HTML Entity Encoder & Decoder
Escape markup-sensitive characters or turn supported HTML entities back into plain text.
Input is processed locally in your browser and is not sent to Navorika.
How to use this tool
- 1Choose encode or decode.
- 2Optionally encode non-ASCII characters numerically.
- 3Paste text.
- 4Swap, copy or clear the plain-text result.
Understanding the result
Reserved characters such as ampersand and less-than signs are always encoded in encode mode.
Decoded output stays inside a textarea and is never interpreted as page markup.
Important limitations
- Named entity decoding follows the current browser HTML parser.
- Encoding focuses on markup-sensitive characters plus optional numeric non-ASCII output.
