CHARACTER ENTITY REFERENCE

(Redirected from Character entity)
In the markup languages SGML, HTML, XHTML and XML, a 'character entity reference' is a reference to a particular kind of named ''entity'' that has been predefined or explicitly declared in a Document Type Definition (DTD). The ''replacement text'' of the entity consists of a single character from the Universal Character Set/Unicode. The purpose of a character entity reference is to provide a way to refer to a character that is not universally encodable.
