CSS: content:"\00a0"
Solution 1:
The content
property is used to add content or even adding html entities. As for \00a0
, it is hex code for a non-breaking space.

Solution 2:
I've used it before to implement styling text on a floated list
#horz-list li {
list-style: none;
float: left;
}
#horz-list li:after {
content: "\00a0-\00a0";
}
#horz-list li:last-child:after {
content: "";
}
<ul id="horz-list">
<li>first item</li>
<li>second item</li>
<li>third item</li>
</ul>
That will produce something like
first item - second item - third item
This keeps my markup semantic & I can introduce styling such a the dash via css.
