In addition to native character encodings, characters can also be encoded as '''HTML entities''', using the encoding format derived from the use of character entities in [[SGML]]. For example, the character λ can be encoded as <code>&lambda;</code>. This use of the '&' character as an escape code means that literal '&' characters in HTML need to be encoded as an entity themselves, as <code>&amp;</code>. Similar escapes are required for the '<' and '>' characters, encoded as <code>&lt;</code> and <code>&gt;</code> respectively.
