How to use HTML entity codes instead of character in HTML

Question

I'm writing a post about quote characters like curly quotes. I want to be able to print this string “ to demonstrate html entity of this character “ but when I open the html page it turns to the character itself.

I think this has to do with the default charset of html5 documents set to UTF-8 but I've seen pages like this one using the raw code.

Is there any way to do this in html?

When you output “ it's converted to HTML entity ". So to output it as-is you must double encode it: &ldquo;
