1What are HTML Entities?

HTML entities are special strings of characters used to represent reserved characters (like `<` and `>`) or invisible characters (like non-breaking spaces). Encoding these characters is essential for preventing Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks and ensuring that your markup is rendered correctly by the browser.

Input: `

` Output: `<div>`
