🎨 CSS Generated Content

Using \015E in the CSS content property to insert Ş via pseudo-elements.

💡 Best Practices

Do

Serve pages as UTF-8; you can type Ş directly in UTF-8 source
Use &Scedil; for readable HTML when a named form is preferred
Set lang="tr" on Turkish content for correct pronunciation hints
Use \015E in CSS content when generating the symbol via pseudo-elements
Distinguish Ş (cedilla) from Š (caron) and Romanian Ș (comma below)

Don’t

Substitute plain S when Ş is required in Turkish text
Use Ş for Romanian—Romanian uses Ș (S with comma below, U+0218)
Confuse Ş (cedilla) with Š (caron) or plain S (U+0053)
Put CSS escape \015E in HTML text nodes
Use \0015E in CSS—the correct escape is \015E
