html code not validating

[Bobafart]

the W3C validator doesn't like the following code:

<UL>
<li/>Name
<li/>Address
<li/>Email address
<li/>(etc.)
</UL>

validator error is:

Line 88, Column 16: character data is not allowed here.
											<li/>Name✉ 
You have used character data somewhere it is not permitted to appear. Mistakes that can cause this error include: 

putting text directly in the body of the document without wrapping it in a container element (such as a <p>aragraph</p>), or 
forgetting to quote an attribute value (where characters such as "%" and "/" are common, but cannot appear without surrounding quotes), or 
using XHTML-style self-closing tags (such as <meta ... />) in HTML 4.01 or earlier. To fix, remove the extra slash ('/') character. For more information about the reasons for this, see Empty elements in SGML, HTML, XML, and XHTML.

The error message tells you what the problem is. Did you read the error message?

remove '/' form '<li/>' because that means that li is empty and change to:

<UL>
<li>Name</li>
<li>Address</li>
<li>Email address</li>
<li>(etc.)</li>
</UL>
