Html Entity Name vs entity Number?
asp.net, html, html-entities
Solution
There is not clear guidance as to when one should use a numeric character reference (say `£`) over a character entity reference (say `£`) or vice versa.
So long as a character entity reference is a defined one (you can define your own), you can use it.
The converse is that if it isn't defined, you should use a numeric character reference.
Problem
I saw this table : when I program Asp.net and want to display these special html entities , I use Entity Name. (but both seems to work) question : in what scenarios should I use entity number ( and not entity name ) ? p.s. Ive seen situation in which asp.net doesnt like Entity Number
