Replace the ampersand and copyright symbol with an HTML character entity.

I tried © © Even copyright Neither of them are working. So what is gonna be the answer?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html>
  <head>
    <title>My Page</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h3>Design & Development</h3>

You have to replace the & and © with the HTML syntax for them. So the syntax for & in HTML is '&amp'; and the symbol for © in HTML is '&copy'; . Just make sure you remove the ' ' I put in so the syntax would display.

I don't understand why the > on the <p> has to be left out? I checked back in the video and it states nothing about that. Is there an answer to why this has to be done? If it's not covered, it should not be on a quiz..

I'm stuck with this as well. I've tried both entries from the Character Entity Reference Chart as well as '&copy' without the ' ' and still it won't pass it.

I did HIDAYATULLAH ARGHANDABI and the code worked. Maybe its a bug. Sometimes on freecodecamp the same right code would be wrong for me. I had to wait a day for the thing not to bug.
