Off topic -- how does the JetBrains website display "IntelliJ" text in stylized "iJ" at the end of IntelliJ? Some CSS magic?

I tried editing the text using the developer tools and this styling only applies when the text is IntelliJ or any word that starts with this exact string (case sensitive)

That effect comes from their font - "Jetbrain Sans"
Have you seen whose weird "fonts for programmers" that make != look like a single character? Same thing.

(Btw I hate that)

That’s font ligature. Basically when two glyphs/symbols are one after another, they have a different glyph to show both of them.
