I am trying to:
Trying to add html entity arrows after table headings instead of the gif icon.

I've added this to the theme css as well as Toolset's CSS for the view. Neither work.

.wpv-header-no-sort::after {
    content: "&#9660;";
  margin-left:5px;
}
.wpv-header-desc::after, .wpv-header-asc::after {
    content: "&#9660;";
  margin-left:5px;
}

I expected to see the arrows. Instead, I got the actual characters & # 9 6 6 0 ;

Hi there,

I checked your website and I think you need to use the literal font item for that:

.wpv-header-no-sort::after {
    content: "'▼'";
  margin-left:5px;
}
.wpv-header-desc::after, .wpv-header-asc::after {
    content: "'▲'";
  margin-left:5px;
}

Thanks.

I updated some plugins and the arrows started showing up properly. Not sure what the issue was or what fixed it, but it's fixed now. Thanks!
