<div>
While it is easy to use Regexp to go through and find all matches for a particular string, it will still require some sort of style class call to emphasis or highlight the character. &nbsp;I will end up probably just wrapping everything in a &lt;font&gt; tag.<br />
<br />
Maybe in CSS3.1 we can get more pseudo class items listed.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I know all about :pseudo elements, but is there a way to assign properties to specific characters? &nbsp;For example, lets say I want every copyright, (&amp;copy; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&amp;#169;) to show up with a particular set of properties.<br />
<br />
Simple? &nbsp;Without applying &lt;span&gt; or &lt;pre&gt; or &lt;font&gt; to each and every symbol?

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a language used for describing the look and formatting of a document written in a markup language. Usually used to change web pages and user interfaces written in HTML, it can also be applied to any kind of XML document. CSS is designed primarily to distinguish the content of a document from its presentation.
