Content Property???

Where does Guil get 'content: "\e000";' from? He just seems to pull it out of thin air. Could someone please give me a simple explanation, thank you!

I was confused by this as well. The article Adam cites is quite helpful in clarifying some of the missing steps. I still feel shaky about using icon fonts in any real context and am planning to work through some practice using icomoon. I think a reference of mozilla of the content property may be helpful also.

You can see where he gets the codes from the video at 13:46 in, the icoMoon site give it to him when he generates the font. I also got the code from viewing the font in a browser (which show nothing) and viewing source and showed me the codes.

Cheers! Stephen
