||
## What is this?
|
||
|
||
This is a list of certain named character references, that due to legacy
|
||
reasons, don’t need a trailing semicolon in HTML.
|
||
For example, `©` is perfectly fine for `©`!
|
||
|
||
## When should I use this?
|
||
|
||
Maybe when you’re writing an HTML parser or minifier, but otherwise probably
|
||
never!
|
||
Even then, it might be better to use [`parse-entities`][parse-entities] or
|
||
[`stringify-entities`][stringify-entities].
|
||
|
||

||
```sh
