How to Handle Hex values inside style text content.

[kalyani Shinde]

Hi Team,

I am facing weird issue while creating style node with text node in it as follows:

I want to add below rule to style tag for example:

/*

.my-class:before {

    content: "\F1F0"

}

*/

And here is my code

  Element* style = document->CreateRawElement(html_names::kStyleTag, CreateElementFlags::ByCreateElement());

 // Append the style element to the head

headElement->appendChild(style);

std::string text=".myclass:before {\n    content: \"\\F1F0\"\n}\n"; 

// it should be as below

style->ParserAppendChild(static_cast<blink::Node*>(document->createTextNode(text.c_str())));

This code turns my style node having data as below:

my-class:before { content: ""; }

I have noticed, inside StyleSheetContents:ParseString this rule gets received as 

my-class:before { content: \"\u00EF\u\0087\u\00B0"; }\n"

Why is this text node creation causing my Hex value to change, And if it is so, then how should I handle this.

Thanks

Make sure the document uses UTF-8. In HTML, you’d add

<meta charset="utf-8">

Hi,

This doesn't seem to work. 

Can I try anything else. and how does then blink process any external stylesheet which is having such Hex values and show them correctly in ParseStylesheet. and if I take rules from same point and add them to new style node,

the text is getting converted to unicode chars. is there anything I am missing in the process.?
