HTML entities are essential in the following scenarios:
- Reserved Characters: Characters like <, >, &, ", and ' have special meanings in HTML and need to be encoded when used as content.
- Invisible Characters: For representing spaces, non-breaking spaces, and other whitespace that would otherwise be collapsed by HTML.
- Special Symbols: For displaying symbols that aren't on standard keyboards, such as mathematical symbols, currency signs, and trademark symbols.
