Can you use HTML entities in the CSS “content” property? [duplicate]

Answer 1

I'm guessing you want the actual • character displayed, if so simply use the • character instead of •.

Edit: I found another thread: How can I include a HTML-encoded "content:" character in CSS?

Perhaps this will validate:

.down:before{
    content:"\2022 ";
    color:#f00;
}
