Thanks David,

I had already used this approach but it didn't seem to allow me to achieve an 
effect I was after...

I have used this approach to show a symbol and on another layer I need to show 
a text value next to it.. but the automatic moving of the label as part of the 
conflict resolution didn't appear to be behaving as I expected and I assumed it 
was because the 'symbol' wasn't being treated as a label.. hence why I was then 
trying to do the same thing using labels.

GeoServer uses a custom WellKnownMark instead of Labels for this sort of thing.

Hi All,

I'm using the CSS module and I have a curiosity question..

If I want to reference a character within a font by its hex representation 
using the Label command how would I do that?

I have tried..

label: [strConcat('#0x00',hex)];

where hex is a value from the dataset e.g. E3 or FC

and various other combinations of the above and each time Geoserver renders the 
string e.g. '#0x00E3' and not the character.

Any help appreciated!

Thanks

Chris
