:id

Targets a single, unique element on a page that has a matching 'id' attribute. Since IDs must be unique, this selector should only ever match one element.

/* Usage Example */
#main-header {
  /* Styles the unique element with id='main-header' */
  background-color: #f3f4f6;
  padding: 2rem;
}
