CSS

If you want to use the above characters from CSS (like i.e: in an :before or :after pseudo) simply use the escaped \ Unicode HEX value, like for example:

[class^="ico-"], [class*=" ico-"]{
  font: normal 1em/1 Arial, sans-serif;
  display: inline-block;
}


.ico-times:before{ content: "\2716"; }
.ico-check:before{ content: "\2714"; }

<i class="ico-times"></i>
<i class="ico-check"></i>

Use examples for different languages:

• ✕ HTML
• '\2715' CSS like i.e: .clear:before { content: '\2715'; }
• '\u2715' JavaScript string
