nbsp not working in CSS content tag

Question

#sitenavmenu-content-menu li:before
{
    content:"|  ";
}

I want to add a | and two spaces before each list item. However, for some reason it prints the word nbsp and not the space. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Fixed it by copying and pasting the non-breaking space from character map into my code editor.
