How this tool handles the input

A standards-oriented entity library decodes named, decimal, and hexadecimal references into Unicode characters.

Before you start

What you need

Text containing HTML character references.

What you get

What the page gives back

Decoded Unicode text ready to inspect or copy.

Keep in mind

Use the result responsibly

Decoded output can contain markup characters. Treat it as untrusted text and never inject it directly into HTML.

Practical uses

Where this tool earns its place

  1. Read entities copied from HTML source.
  2. Check numeric character references.
  3. Recover readable text from an encoded fixture.

Verified data boundary

Source text stays on this page.

The published contract marks these tools as client-only processing. Nirmion uses the API only to confirm that this workspace is enabled in MySQL; source values and results are not sent to Flask.
