Question

I found a tutorial about adding hexadecimal icons to the front of html buttons, and would like to see a list of all possible icons.

Is there a list somewhere, or do I have to manually check each number to find out what is available to use?

Here is a sample of one of them:

.save:before, input[type="submit"]:before {content: "\2714";}

And here is the tutorial I got it from:

Answer 1

They are Unicode code points and there are quite a few of them 🙂

Those particular ones are related to Windows Dingbats characters.

You can change the 2714 in that link to get the other ones, or you can select individual ones from the entire Dingbats block (warning, this may take some time to load due to the large number of images).
