I have the following CSS:

.rating:not(:checked) > label:before {
  content: '★';
}

And when being rendered, instead of a ★ I see â˜. If I use Firebug and I change the content to ★, it shows correctly.

What can be happening? How can I solve it?

Thanks

    Probably the text encodings (character sets) for your CSS and HTML files do not agree.

    To set a stylesheet’s encoding, use @charset; for example:

    @charset "UTF-8";

    To set an HTML page’s encoding, use a <meta> tag (in the <head> section at the top); for example:

    <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">

    or in HTML 5:

    <meta charset="UTF-8">

    The @charset of a stylesheet must agree with the encoding chosen for its HTML page.
