What character encoding is >?

character-encoding, encoding, html

Solution

This might answer your question. Basically it is HTML encoding for a few predefined characters.

Characters like `>` and `&` are `HTML Entities` specifically, they are `Named HTML Entities`

Problem

In HTML, you can write the greater than sign ">" as `&gt;` and the less than symbol "<" as `&lt;`. Is this encoding defined by the HTML encoding or some standard like ISO, UTF-xxx, BaseXXX, etc?
