I guess the :first-letter CSS selector really does get the first “letter.” In this image I have a selector that gets the :first-letter and applies block-level display, an orange circle background, increases the font-size and makes it white. But, as you can see, it applied that styling to the ! as well as the first letter. This to me would be a bug since it’s applying the style to any character before the first letter. But it’s an interesting factoid that you should probably know about if you do any CSS for yourself.
