Unicode Selector Names

If someone did not know, you can use Unicode characters in the names of CSS selectors. Generally any. :)

Now we will think what is the use of it?
A small example.

Normal block with rounded edges:
CSS code:
.rounded {
width: 400px;
margin: 32px;
background-color: #DDD;
color: #000;
}
.rounded-tl { background-image: url( 'i/tl.gif' ); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: top left; }
.rounded-tr { background-image: url( 'i/tr.gif' ); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: top right; }
.rounded-bl { background-image: url( 'i/bl.gif' ); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: bottom left; }
.rounded-br { background-image: url( 'i/br.gif' ); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: bottom right; padding: 18px; }

HTML code:
< div class ="rounded" >
< div class ="rounded-tl" >
< div class ="rounded-tr" >
< div class ="rounded-bl" >
< div class ="rounded-br" >
< p > . :) </ p >
< p > CSS- . </ p >
</ div >
</ div >
</ div >
</ div >
</ div >

')
But you can do it like this:
.○
{
width: 400px;
margin: 32px;
background-color: #BBB;
color: #000;
}
.┌ { background-image: url( 'i/tl.gif' ); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: top left; }
.┐ { background-image: url( 'i/tr.gif' ); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: top right; }
.└ { background-image: url( 'i/bl.gif' ); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: bottom left; }
.┘ { background-image: url( 'i/br.gif' ); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: bottom right; padding: 18px; }

Replacing the class names in the HTML code with the above ones, we get the same thing, only by reducing the size of the code (doubtful, of course, advantage), and increasing the visibility:

< div class ="○" >
< div class ="┌" >
< div class ="┐" >
< div class ="└" >
< div class ="┘" >
< p > . :) </ p >
< p >      ,   ,     , ┌   (U+250C), ┐   (U+2510), └   (U+2514), ┘   (U+2518)    (U+25CB). </ p >
< p >   (U+25A1), (   — ) . </ p >

</ div >
</ div >
</ div >
</ div >
</ div >

How and where to use - the case is entirely yours, perhaps this chip will be worthy of use.

Thanks for the idea Jonathan Snook
