I18N-ISSUE-147: [css3-syntax] CSS escape sequences [CSS-mail] http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/147 Raised by: Richard Ishida On product: CSS-mail Thread: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2012Jan/0536.html From: Mathias Bynens <mathias@qiwi.be> Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2012 11:35:48 +0100 http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-syntax/#characters defines CSS escape sequences of the form `\000026` or `\26 `, both of which decode to `&`. WebKit browsers don’t support this syntax for characters outside the BMP: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76152 For example, `\1d306 ` or `\01d306` are supposed to be escape sequences for the “tetragram for centre” symbol (U+1D306), but they don’t work in WebKit. There seems to be another way to escape these characters, namely by breaking them up in UTF-16 code units: `\d834\df06 `. All browsers except Gecko (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=717529) seem to support this, even though this isn’t mentioned in the spec. Should the spec be changed to reflect reality?
