Closebox of Tab in TabSheet is read by JAWS

Question

Originally by michaelvogt

JAWS ignores the WAI-ARIA attribute aria-hidden. This means, that the 'x' in the closebox of a Tab is read as "times" (mathematical operation). The only way around this is to replace the 'x' with an image empty alt attribute

A better solution, than an image, in my opinion would be to use CSS generated content.

.v-tabsheet-close:before {
   content: "×";
}

If this is also read by JAWS, I guess the only option is to use images, which is very unfortunate, and I would like to avoid that by all means.
