Although any Unicode character can be referenced by its numeric code point, some HTML document authors prefer to use these named entities instead, where possible, as they are less cryptic and were better supported by early browsers. Character entities can be included in an HTML document via the use of entity references, which take the form &EntityName;, where EntityName is the name of the entity. For example, <code>&amp;mdash;</code>, much like <code>&amp;#8212;</code> or <code>&amp;#x2014;</code>, represents U+2014: the em dash character "—" even if the character encoding used doesn't contain that character.</p> </blockquote>
