If you’re on OS X go to System Preferences > Language & Text > Input Sources and enable:

Keyboard & Character Viewer
Unicode Hex Input
Show Input menu in menu bar

Click on the flag icon on the menu bar and choose Show Character Viewer.
To add more glyphs click on the gear button on the top-left and choose Customize List.
There’s also a search field, just enter star or arrow, for example.

To type an actual glyph, just click on the flag icon on the menu bar and choose Unicode Hex Input. Then just hold the ⌥ Option key and type a Unicode code, for example, 2325.

Jason

# March 26, 2014

You could theoretically create an svg of whatever you want then convert it to base64 code as Chris mentioned in another post. (Using SVG). I’m not positive, but I believe glyphs are drawn using svg anyway.

Needless to say it’s a lot easier just to use an existing glyph but here’s an svg example:

http://jsfiddle.net/jasonbdesign/x8yhs/3/

I just made a typical drop down arrow in adobe illustrator, but you could really create anything.

This page was made 6 yrs ago, so things may have changed, but using the codes above I found the following when using for CSS property “content” with pseudo-selector “:before” or “:after”:

remove any zeros before the numbers or letters in the code. Example if you see “\00153” becomes “\153”, or “\0161” becomes “\161”, or “\00ae” becomes “\ae”. The zeros cause an error.
remove the letter “u” and / or “+” sign, same reason. Example: “u+2026” becomes “\2026”.
If a number does not work, use the alert version this way, “\2022 ” does not render anything, then use the alert version of “\u2219” and make it “\2219”

I have not tested them all, but that is what I found with what I did test and it appears consistent throughout.

Permalink to comment# January 15, 2018

Yes you can use the keyboard plus sign character, but there are many places on the web that provide the Unicode, Hexcode and HTML codes you need to insert neat and cool characters. In particular, for my response here, I used this reference page >> https://www.toptal.com/designers/htmlarrows/symbols/

Scroll down to Heavy Greek Cross (or use find in page), you see the Unicode for the cross as, U+0271A

As I mentioned above, to use this in the CSS pseudo content, remove the “U”, “+” and “0”. Then it will look like this, content: ‘\271A’;

Search the web for these tables or lists and favourite a few of them, since some do provide different characters over the others.

Hope that helps.

I’m using an em space in my print css:

.main::after {content: “Company\2003 Street …”}

Firefox ignores \2003, any ideas?

Mark

Permalink to comment# August 8, 2019

You are using the incorrect HTML character code for CSS.

This is what you were using (see this link): https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2003/index.htm

That reference link I gave shows where the “2003” code applies. It is not usable as a CSS value in pseudo elements of ::before or ::after.

If you want to use the correct ones for CSS, use references like this one: https://www.toptal.com/designers/htmlarrows/symbols/

At that CSS reference, type into the search box “space”. It gives you a result. The top code is the correct one, “U+000A0”. Remove the “U” and the “+”, add the reverse slash “\” and it works.

For what you want to achieve, you can also simply use keyboard space, which gives the standard space between words. To have more space, use the CSS / HTML character code “\000A0”.

Examples:

‘Company\000A0Street’; (gives normal spacing between the words)
‘Company \000A0 Street’; (add a keyboard space to add one more space between text)
‘Company \000A0 Street’; (add one more keyboard space between the text and character code gives more space)
‘Company\000A0\000A0Street’; (gives 2 spaces)
‘Company\000A0\000A0\000A0Street’; (gives 3 spaces, etc)

When creating web pages or websites, always test your work in the 3 major browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome for windows), or all 4 browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari for Mac), if your not doing this already.

Hope that helps.

Here are links to HTML / CSS Character Codes charts
https://brajeshwar.me/entities/
https://dev.w3.org/html5/html-author/charref

I use several different chart references, I seem to find some different symbols and characters between them. I think it is like that because some of the charts are older and not updated to hold all current information. So create a list of your own that works for you.

sir i want to use club symbol in css pseudo how can i use that please help

Mark

Permalink to comment# October 24, 2019

“Club symbol”, I am supposing you mean the playing cards symbol of “clubs”?

Go here: https://www.toptal.com/designers/htmlarrows/symbols/

Type in “club” (no quotes) into the magnifying glass icon / search box, it will bring up 3 versions of the “club” symbol for webpages.

For the CSS pseudo use, the syntax is:
selector-name::before {
content: ‘\02663’;
}
