Are html codes allowed in HTML attributes?

Question

Is this a valid HTML code?

I replaced / with it's html-code / Refer: https://www.htmlsymbols.xyz/unicode

<a href=/sample2.htm>Using html code for slash</a>

When I try this code in chrome, it does work, the link is shown properly. Wondering if this is valid?

Slashes do work in HTML <a href> tags. You should probably use those to keep your <a href> links shorter.

So you can have

<a href="/sample2.htm">Using html code for slash</a>

Also a tip, in <a href> you need quotes when hyperlinking to another webpage, like I put mine.

Also, using the ```/``` attribute might not always work. – amateur_coder Aug 03 '19 at 17:14
I am under impression that `Using html code for slash` works same as `Using html code for slash` – pyNag Aug 04 '19 at 16:38
