Special Characters in HTML

HTML processors must support following five special characters listed in the table that follows.
| Symbol | Description | Entity Name | Number Code |
|---|---|---|---|
| " | quotation mark | " | " |
| ' | apostrophe | ' | ' |
| & | ampersand | & | & |
| < | less-than | < | < |
