When to use it

Escaping it as > isn’t strictly required in text, but it’s conventional and safe.

In HTML, CSS and JavaScript

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

.note::before { content: "\003E"; }

const s = "\u003E";

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, or — as here — when the character has a special meaning in HTML. Encode or decode whole texts with the HTML Entity Encoder.

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.
