Why are there both numerical and named character entity values?..

Answer / Md Akram

Numerical and named character entity values serve the same purpose, which is to represent special characters (like symbols or foreign language characters) that cannot be typed on a standard keyboard directly into an HTML document. Named character entities offer easier readability, as they can be remembered by their descriptive names, whereas numerical character entities are more concise and quicker to type.
