## What is this?
This is a map of named character references in HTML 4 to the characters they
represent.
## When should I use this?
Maybe when youre writing an HTML parser or minifier, but otherwise probably
never!
Even then, it might be better to use [`parse-entities`][parse-entities] or
[`stringify-entities`][stringify-entities].
