The current SASS outputs the unicode values directly, which in certain scenarios (I'm using it in a very basic application-integrated web server for instance) can break due to lacklustre UTF8 handling.
This PR brings the output in line with Font-Awesome, where the content value in the output CSS is an escaped (I think that's what it's called?) unicode value (e.g. \eae1) rather than missing character square in most text editors so that it doesn't get mangled by any dodgy encoding, etc. As part of this, it removes the \ from the variables as the unicode function added to the mixins file will handle adding this during compilation
