/2706 phone icon doesn't display

I can't get the /02706 phone icon to display:

CSS:
.phone::before { content: "/2706"; }

HTML: <p class="phone"> 555-867-5309 </p>

This is what it comes up as on the preview:

/2706 555-867-5309

-I've googled it, and tried multiple different browsers. Any ideas?

Hello,

This code you wrote looks like you're using a font icons, if so, then you need to use the backslash ( \ ) in the "content" property and you would need to specify the font-family. If you're trying to use HTML icons then you most probaly will have to use these: &#. I have never used HTML icons, I usually do this with font icons, so the code would look something like this, depending of course of which font icon collection you're using:

.caption:before{
    font-family:FontAwesome;
    font-weight: normal;
    font-size: 1.2em;
    content:'\f0c1';
    padding: 0 5px;
    color: #8a3028;
}
