About UTF-8

UTF-8 is a variable-length character encoding standard used for electronic communication. It’s capable of encoding all 1,112,064 valid Unicode code points using one to four one-byte (8-bit) code units. You can include UTF-8 characters in your CSS rules by using their Unicode code points. For example to display an arrow:
