I am using chrome dev tools to extract selectors from the page. When I have been copying selectors last time, I have stumbled upon an unusual one looking like this:

body > div.h-full > div.bg-white.fixed.pin.pt-x11.md\3a pt-x14.overflow-y-auto > div > div.px-x4.pt-16.lg\3a p-0.lg\3a flex-1 > div.mb-x4 > ul > li:nth-child(2) > div.relative.group.mt-13.hidden.lg\3a block > button

You can notice that there are few \3a inside those selectors. What do those mean?

  • It is "\3a", not "\3". Where "3a" represents the ASCII character (":") in hex - see https://mathiasbynens.be/notes/css-escapes - "Theoretically, the : character can be escaped as \:, but IE < 8 doesn’t recognize that escape sequence correctly. A workaround is to use \3A instead." – user2864740 Oct 03 '18 at 06:05
  • @user2864740 updated. So what do those mean? – naneri Oct 03 '18 at 06:06
  • @user2864740 can you post this as an answer? I will mark it as correct – naneri Oct 03 '18 at 06:15
  • Sorry, but answering off-topic questions is not a good practice. – Wais Kamal Oct 03 '18 at 06:23

    @Wais Kamal: How is this remotely off-topic lol. You've answered CSS questions before, so clearly you think those are on-topic. This one's no different. – BoltClock Oct 03 '18 at 06:32
  • Sorry but I meant to say duplicate. Very busy :) – Wais Kamal Oct 03 '18 at 06:58
