How can the CSS property "content:" impact the layout and behavior of PHP-generated HTML elements?

The CSS property "content:" is used in conjunction with pseudo-elements to insert content before or after an element. When applied to PHP-generated HTML elements, it can impact the layout by adding additional content such as icons or text. This can be useful for styling elements dynamically based on PHP data or conditions. 

<?php
// PHP code generating HTML element with CSS "content:" property
echo '<div class="custom-element"></div>';
?>

<style>
.custom-element::before {
    content: "\f105"; /* Unicode for an icon */
    font-family: FontAwesome; /* Using a custom font for the icon */
}
</style>
