Slick Slider css has `\9` in margin rule

Question

margin-top: -10px;

and now is:

margin-top: -10px\9; /*lte IE 8*/

Is this a typo or is there a reason for it?

This is a "CSS Hack" for IE like explained here : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8004765/css-9-in-width-property — lddz, Oct 09 '15 at 14:48
This is why commits have messages. The commit message gives precisely the explanation you're looking for. Even the comment in the line of code you copied contains an abridged version of the explanation. — BoltClock, Oct 09 '15 at 14:50
