What is this notation doing? CSS content: "\e850";
css
Solution
These two lines of CSS add characters before elements: http://jsfiddle.net/Mm58r/
`\e850` (here) and `\e84f` (here) are code for theses characters. I personnaly don't see them on my computer, but they exists in certain fonts ;)

Problem
I'm looking at the CSS file of my Wordpress theme. But these lines are new for me: ``` ul.flex-direction-nav li a.flex-next:before{content: "\e850";} ul.flex-direction-nav li a.flex-prev:before {content: "\e84f";} ``` What is this content: "\e850"; attribute for? I've never seen such thing before.
