title: Insert &times; using CSS pseudo element
body: <p>I am trying to use &times; &amp;times HTML character as a close icon on a dialog link</p>
  
  <pre><code>.close:before {
      content: "\0274c";
      display: block;
      text-align: center;
      vertical-align: middle;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Firefox works with the example above and also using </p>
  
  <pre><code>content: "\274c";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Chrome wont accept either and simply gives me a missing character square. I am using Arial as the font. What do I need to do to make this cross browser compatible?</p>
