The named character references of HTML, such as & and é, by the table in section 13.5 of the HTML Standard.
The table is the entities.json that WHATWG publishes with the standard, as of 2026-10-08, under CC BY 4.0.
Only the names of HTML 4.01 are kept, with ' of XML and the legacy names that HTML reads without a semicolon. The rest came from MathML, e.g. ≂̸, and stay text: they would make the table many times as large, and embedded HTML hardly ever uses them.
TODO: read the names from MathML too, by an option or a namespace of their own, for HTML that writes mathematics with them.

The characters of each named character reference, by its name without the ampersand. A name ends in a semicolon, except for the legacy names that HTML also reads without one, so both "amp;" and "amp" give &.
