Both in HTML4 and in HTML5, the formal syntax is ...

E.g. HTML email can use HTML entities to use characters from anywhere in Unicode even if the HTML source text for the email is in a legacy encoding (e ...
UTF-8 is also the recommendation from the WHATWG for HTML and DOM specifications, and stating "UTF-8 encoding is the most appropriate encoding for interchange of Unicode" [5] and the Internet Mail Consortium recommends that all e‑mail programs be able to display and create mail using UTF-8.
