As a self-taught newcomer to web development, I apologize if this is a basic question.
I'm trying to figure out how to display text inside an icon, like putting a number inside a heart. Would using a webfont icon not be suitable for this purpose? Is it better to use CSS shapes so that the text will still show when resized? Or maybe a vector graphic would work best?
Here is the CSS code for a heart icon that I was considering using. However, I'm unsure how to insert text inside it.
.heart {
position: relative;
width: 100px;
height: 90px;
}
.heart:before,
.heart:after {
position: absolute;
content: "";
left: 50px;
top: 0;
width: 50px;
height: 80px;
background: #fc2e5a;
-moz-border-radius: 50px 50px 0 0;
border-radius: 50px 50px 0 0;
-webkit-transform: rotate(-45deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(-45deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(-45deg);
-o-transform: rotate(-45deg);
transform: rotate(-45deg);
-webkit-transform-origin: 0 100%;
-moz-transform-origin: 0 100%;
-ms-transform-origin: 0 100%;
-o-transform-origin: 0 100%;
transform-origin: 0 100%;
}
.heart:after {
left: 0;
-webkit-transform: rotate(45deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(45deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(45deg);
-o-transform: rotate(45deg);
transform: rotate(45deg);
-webkit-transform-origin: 100% 100%;
-moz-transform-origin: 100% 100%;
-ms-transform-origin: 100% 100%;
-o-transform-origin: 100% 100%;
trans.orm-origin :100% 100%;
}
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
