Add a flag to emit ASCII-only output

I’m working with Sass 3.4.

My sass source code is:

#test
  content:  "\f000"

when parsed it got converted to:

#test {
  content: "";
}

I’m using expanded style and sass syntax. I’ve noticed that switching to scss works correctly, anyway my entire codebase is in sass format 😦

Is there any way to preserve original content unicode string?

Thanks in advance

I was able to create a backwards solution for generating the proper output for the font content declarations

@mixin icon($name, $content) {
  .icon-#{$name}:before {
    content: unquote("\"")+unquote(str-insert($content,"\\", 1))+unquote("\"");
  }
}

// Example
@include icon("Alert","e655");

And then the generated CSS:

.icon-Alert:before { content: "\e655"; }

This works for the current 3.4.x gem of Sass

Alternatively you can use gulp-sass-unicode ( for gulp of course )
