Frequently asked questions
What are HTML entities?
HTML entities are codes like & (for &), < (for <), (non-breaking space). The HTML cleaner mode removes both HTML tags and common entities.
What counts as special characters?
"Special characters" mode keeps only letters (A-Z, a-z), numbers (0-9), and spaces. Everything else — punctuation, symbols, emoji — is removed.
Does emoji removal work for all emoji?
Most modern emoji (skin tones, flags, ZWJ sequences) are handled. Some very new or rare emoji may not be caught — check the result if you have unusual characters.
Cleaning and sanitizing text
When to clean text
Removing HTML tags is useful when copy-pasting from web pages into plain text editors or databases. Removing special characters is important for slugs, file names, and database fields that need clean input. Stripping emoji is useful for systems that do not support Unicode fully.
