the what (the part of the recipe when i give you a backstory):
i'm someone who really likes to have as much customization as possible but I'm also really lazy,
so I want it to be easy as well. one thing I really are
cute little pictograms that show little things
that are related to the text. basically emojis, but vintage. before to get cool little picture's i'd have to
add <img src="/images/ to whatever i'm writing and that's
pretty long and hard to remember! and with
aria labels or alt text it get's even longer, making writing stuff with a flare just
one bit more annoying.
the why:
theyre cute and cool and add personality to whatever you're writing.
the how:
basically, what I'm going to do is put the ::before pseudo-element in front of an i element.
(i don't know why everyone uses that element for that, maybe it's because it's short?)
