           Summary: Support CSS escape sequences like `\1d306 ` or
                    `\01d306`
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
               URL: http://jsfiddle.net/mathias/jY7ra/
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: CSS
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: mathias at qiwi.be


WebKit is the only engine that doesn’t support CSS escape sequences as per http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#characters. E.g.  `\1d306 ` or `\01d306` are supposed to be escape sequences for the “tetragram for centre” symbol (U+1D306). It would be better for interoperability if WebKit supported these.

OTOH, escape sequences of the form `\d834\df06 ` (broken up in UTF-16 code units) do work in WebKit (although I cannot find any mention of these in the spec).
