Does this decode numeric entities like '?

Yes — both named entities (&) and numeric entities (', ') are decoded correctly.

Is this safe to use on untrusted text?

Decoding only converts entities back to text and displays the result as plain text in a read-only field — it does not execute any code.

Can I decode text that has been encoded twice?

Yes — run it through the decoder twice if the text was encoded more than once.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No — decoding happens entirely in your browser.

Does this handle entities from any language?

Yes — numeric entities can represent any Unicode character, regardless of language.

What if my text has no entities at all?

It will be returned unchanged, since there is nothing to decode.

What Is HTML Decoding?

HTML decoding reverses HTML encoding, converting entities like &, <, >, " and ' — along with any other named or numeric HTML entity — back into their original characters.

It is useful whenever you have copied text out of an HTML source, an RSS feed, or an API response and it still contains literal entity codes instead of readable characters.
