Is there a container element that can be used instead of HTML character entities with the ampersand and semicolon?

Update:

If I want to write "2>1," why can't there just be a container element that I can place that in? Why should I have to use the ampersand and semicolon if I could simply place what I want to write inside a container element which tells the browser not to change what's inside into some sort of formatting or whatever?

Please don't simply answer by saying "The browser will think it's something else, and not display it;" that would mean you don't understand my question.

Thanks for your response.
