<em> (short form of "emphasis", "emphasized text") — italic text by default, screen readers pronounce the content in this tag using verbal stress. [Source: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_em.asp]

The abbreviation i.e. <abbr> element is used along with a title attribute to associate a full-text explanation with an abbreviation or acronym. Website visitors do not see the text in the title attribute, but browsers, search engines, and assistive technologies do use this information. Example: This website is all about <abbr title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</abbr>. Output: This website is all about HTML. Read more: https://html.com/tags/abbr/#ixzz6kTZp8cGp
