This particular tag is important to programmers or people who discuss HTML and design stuff on their blogs. When you use the <code> tag, the text enclosed is made to appear like plain HTML, and not the usual way that the text is formatted when you read them. According to Wordpress Codex,
By default, WordPress will convert unrecognized uses of < and > into characters which actually look like
& lt;and& gt; (without spaces), which will “look” like a < and a > when posted. Or, if it finds the use of an HTML tag within the post, it will use the tag like it is HTML and you will have funky looking text and a messed up layout.
And here are the equivalents, when you use the code tag.
< = & lt; > = & gt; / = & #47; ] = & #93; [ = & #91; ” = & #34; ‘ = & #39;
(again, without the spaces)
