What are HTML entity codes?
Well, they are 'encrypted' forms of every character that can be displayed on the web, recognizable only by HTML. They are commonly used to bypass the browser botching up special characters when reading the HTML code, as HTML entity codes are converted to special characters and are not recognized as part of the webpage code.
They come in extremely handy not only for developers, but also common users when trying to print certain characters in blogs, forums etc that allow the WYSWYG(What You See Is What You Get) editor to be turned off.
Every character also has an ASCII code, which has it's own uses in programming and markup languages.
Here's a complete list of HTML entity codes and ASCII decimal and hex numbers of all characters:
