Overview of the issue
When using Elementor with WPML, you might experience the following issue: Custom CSS added at the page level via “Page Settings (the gear icon) > Advanced > Custom CSS” may be copied incorrectly to the translated page. Specifically, escaped Unicode characters like content: '\2794' are saved without the escape sequence content: '2794', resulting in incorrect rendering (e.g., showing 2794 instead of the arrow symbol).
Workaround
Instead of adding custom CSS at the page level, use one of the following alternatives:
At the widget level:
- Edit the specific widget
- Go to “Advanced > Custom CSS”
- Add your CSS rule there
- Go to “Appearance > Customizer > Additional CSS”
- Add your CSS rule there
