Copyright Symbol in CSS :after Pseudo-Element

SOLVED - used \00a9 instead of ©

Pretty self-explanatory:

body:after {
    content: "© me";
    /* other formatting */
}

In HTML, the © sequence inserts a copyright character. Can this be done in CSS Pseudo-Elements like I'm trying to do here?


CSS doesn't use HTML's entities; it uses its own unicode escape sequences.

You need to use \00a9 for the copyright symbol.

body:after {
  content:"\00a9 me";
}
