Template literals used as values for the css and svg tag functions are vulnerable to the same issues with invalid escape sequences as the html tag function.
For example the following code leads to an empty CSS result with no error or warning to indicate what's gone wrong:
const styles = css`
p::before {
content: "\2716";
}
`;
I'd be in favour of expanding the no-invalid-escape-sequences rule to cover these other kinds of template literals.
Happy to do a PR for this with docs changes if that's helpful.
