Use to embed translations inside HTML. This way you ensure that third party translation are saniticed and will not breac the code (proper security to keep the users safe).
```
<h1><?php echo esc_html__( 'Title', 'text-domain' ) ?></h3>
```

When using esc_html__ , remember that it’s also possible to echo the string value out by using the related esc_html_e which does the same thing but echoes the string too.

An example:
```
<p><?php esc_html_e( 'Hello World!', 'text-domain' ); ?></p>
```
You can also read more about esc_html_e too.
