HTML Entities
To display a sign (<) we must write: &It or <
In HTML some characters are reserved.Using the less than (<) or greater than (>) signs in text then the browser might mix them with tags.
A character entity:
| &entity_name; OR &#entity_number; |
Non-breaking Space
Common character entity used in HTML is the non-breaking space and it will not break into a new line.
Two words separated by a non-breaking space will stick together. This is handy when breaking the words might be disruptive.
