Add "Black right-pointing pointer" HTML entity in css content [duplicate]

Question

I'm trying to add a "Black right-pointing pointer" html entity into my css :after content but to no avail.

I know you need to use a unicode value but I can't find one that works for this. This is the unicode number U+25BA and this is the HTML code ►

You should use a backslash and a hex code:

i:after {
    content: "\25ba";
}

Obviously, this character must be present in the font used. Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/c29VS/1/

Alternatively, you can enter the character as such: content: "►". You need to use UTF-8 and declare it properly for this to work, but that should be done anyway.
