WML - Entities
WML entities are to represent symbols that either can't easily be typed in or that have a special meaning in WML.
For example, if you put a < character into your text normally, the browser thinks it's the start of a tag; the browser then complains when it can't find the matching > character to end the tag.
Following table displays the three forms of entities in WML. Named entities are something you may be familiar with from HTML: they look like & or <, and they represent a single named character via a mnemonic name. Entities can also be entered in one of two numeric forms (decimal or hexadecimal), allowing you to enter any Unicode character into your WML.
|Named Entity||Decimal Entity||Hexa Entity||Character|
|"||"||"||Double quote (")|
|<||<||<||Less than (<)|
|>||>||>||Greater than (>)|
| || || ||Nonbreaking space|
Note that all entities start with an ampersand ( &) and end with a semicolon ( ;). This semicolon is very important: some web pages forget this and cause problems for browsers that want correct HTML. WAP browsers also are likely to be stricter about errors like these.
