Using \0165 in the CSS content property to insert ť via pseudo-elements.

  • Use \0165 in CSS content when generating the symbol via pseudo-elements
  • Distinguish ť (caron) from ţ (cedilla) and plain t (U+0074)

Don’t

  • Substitute plain t when ť is required in Czech or Slovak text
  • Confuse ť (caron) with ţ (cedilla) or plain t (U+0074)
