Some characters are reserved in HTML5. For example, you cannot use the greater than and less than signs or angle brackets within your text because the browser could mistake them for markup.
HTML5 processors must support the five special characters listed in the table that follows.
| Symbol | Description | Entity Name | Number Code |
|---|---|---|---|
| " | quotation mark | " | " |
| ' | apostrophe | ' | ' |
| & | ampersand | & | & |
