When to use it

One character for three dots, marking omitted text or a trailing thought. It keeps the dots together at line breaks.

In HTML, CSS and JavaScript

<p>&hellip;</p>           <!-- or the character itself in a UTF-8 page -->

.note::before { content: "\2026"; }

const s = "\u2026";

In a page saved as UTF-8 (the default today) you can paste the character directly; the entity is only needed when it must survive a non-UTF-8 system. Encode or decode whole texts with the HTML Entity Encoder.

How to type ellipsis

  • Windows: hold Alt and type 0133 on the numeric keypad.
  • Mac: Option + ; (US keyboard layout).
  • Linux: Ctrl + Shift + U, then 2026 and Enter.
HTML Entity EncoderEscape < > & " so text is safe to show in HTML, convert accents and symbols to named or numeric entities, or decode entity-filled HTML back to plain text.
