In CSS/HTML there are specific entities that can be placed via code. This is a list of some of the most used CSS entities and their HTML equivalents.

In CSS there are occasions where you don’t have access to the HTML being output, or you want to include something as a part of the document styling. This is where you would use either the ::before or ::after pseudo elements and the CSS code for the entity.

The following will place a small ♥ before the list item.

ul li::before {
    content: "\2665 ";
}

The following will place a small ♥ after the list item.

ul li::after {
    content: " \2665";
}
