What is an HTML entity?
An HTML entity is a piece of text ("string") that begins with an ampersand ( & ) and ends with a semicolon ( ; ). Entities are frequently used to display reserved characters (which would otherwise be interpreted as HTML code), and invisible characters (like non-breaking spaces).
What is the HTML entity to insert a symbol in HTML document?
HTML Symbol Entities
To add such symbols to an HTML page, you can use the entity name or the entity number (a decimal or a hexadecimal reference) for the symbol.
What is the HTML entity for search icon?
There is no HTML entity that could be reasonably regarded as denoting a “search icon”. Depending on what you mean by “search icon”, there may or may not be a Unicode character that represents it. See Is there Unicode glyph Symbol to represent "Search".
