Alt text for pseudo-elements

This one slipped under my radar: Providing alt text for pseudo-elements works in all browsers, eventually there’ll be no more need for a fallback:

a::after {
	/* content: "↗"; 👋 */
	content: "↗" / " (opens in new tab)";
}

Safari caught up in early 2024, and Firefox not long after.
