Have seen a code in a CSS content property that I can't understand where it is defined-CodePudding

I'm looking at some code which has the following content property value for a pseudeo element - "\e90c". I understand this is some sort of escape code which represents a character or icon but where can I find what this icon would be? I haven't found an example of it online. I did find some links which showed me a paint-format icon but it's not that.

I don't know css codes very well so I'm not sure how it works or where it would be coming from.

Updated - The font-family being used is icomoon, but I couldn't understand how it's working after reading through their site.

CodePudding user response：

That Unicode Symbol can be used as an icon if you display it in the right font. See https://mozilla.github.io/foundation-icons/ for example.

CodePudding user response：

It is deppending on the font used.

example: in the case of case of Mozilla Foundation Icon Font => simply test it :

p:after {
  font-family : 'foundation-icons';
  font-size   : 4em;
  content     : "\e90c"; 
  }

<link href="http://mozilla.github.io/foundation-icons/assets/foundation-icons.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">

<p> and your icone is (in foundation-icons font ): </p>
