Why are there two different HTML entities formats and what is their difference? -
when encoding text html entities, noticed there 2 formats. example, string
ç á ê
can encoded to
ç á ê
or
ç á ê
is there advantage of 1 on other? why there 2 formats?
one unicode values characters , other shorthand html defines these specific characters. same end result first example easier humans understand when looking @ code (without cross referencing http://www.unicode.org/charts/). you'd use unicode approach characters don't have shorthand equivalents.
