## What is this?
This is a list of certain named character references, that due to legacy
reasons, dont need a trailing semicolon in HTML.
For example, `&copy` is perfectly fine for `©`!
## 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].

This package is [ESM only][esm].
