How to add spaces in HTML?

For beginners, the usage of HTML spaces may not be clear, or they may not understand how to insert spaces in HTML text. In fact, HTML spaces have many forms and uses. Let’s take a closer look below.

1. Entity

There are some    spaces here, and some      Space.

Here is a Chinese word, space and tab: There is also a Spaces and a tab:

In the HTML rendered by this paragraph, each escape character ( and ) represents a space and a tab respectively.
