Description
Hello!
I found in my use that once the content of the pseudo-class has the '\\' symbol, it will be escaped to the wrong '' character, which is reproduced below.
```css
.iconfont:before {
content: "\e600";
}
```
Then run:
```javascript
const cssAST = csstree.parse(css)
const finalCSS = csstree.generate(cssPlain)
```
In the generated CSS, the expected result is escaped and will look like this:
```css
.iconfont:before{content:""}
```

Research direction
Start with the supplied JavaScript reproduction using csstree.parse and csstree.generate, and compare the generated output with the CSS input containing content: "\e600". Done means generation preserves the escaped pseudo-class content instead of emitting the private-use character shown in the report.
