The single slash appears to be stripped out of the style added to the page so `content: \"\\25BE\";` displays the characters 25BE rather than a down arrow. It needs to be `content: \"\\\\25BE\";` instead to work. The style is in a multi-line string (with back-ticks)\r\n\r\nNot a big deal bit if you are moving styles around it can catch you out.\r\n\r\nversion: beta.1"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/angular/angular/issues/comments/172509791","html_url":"https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/6530#issuecomment-172509791","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/angular/angular/issues/6530","id":172509791,"user":{"login":"mgechev","id":455023,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/455023?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/mgechev","html_url":"https://github.com/mgechev","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mgechev/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mgechev/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mgechev/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mgechev/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mgechev/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mgechev/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mgechev/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mgechev/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mgechev/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-01-18T12:00:34Z","updated_at":"2016-01-18T12:00:34Z","body":"@CaptainCodeman here's link to the issue in the TypeScript repository https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/6521#issuecomment-172381883"}}
