SVG Unicodes

Want to use the Unicode value with the SVG + JS method to display the icons on your page? Go for it!

Before You Get Started

Make sure you:

Plan to use the SVG+JS method of Font Awesome
Have your project set up with Font Awesome

Font Awesome Sharp requires Pro and specific versions!

Make sure you have an active Pro-level plan or a Pro license with access to the specific versions that include Sharp's styles.

Add Icons as Unicodes

You can add icons in any style as unicodes when using the SVG+JS method. Just add the class for the style you want to use to select the style of icon, then insert the unicode value - with &#x before the unicode and ; after - between the opening and closing <i> element.

Here are some examples:

<i class="fa-solid fa-2x">&#x42;</i>
<i class="fa-regular fa-2x fa-spin">&#xf436;</i>
<i class="fa-duotone fa-2x fa-shake">&#xf437;</i>
<i class="fa-light fa-2x">&#x31;</i>
<i class="fa-sharp fa-solid fa-2x">&#x21;</i>
 

Don't forget the semicolon

You'll need a semicolon after the Unicode value ; the icons will not display on your page without it.

Where do I find an icon's Unicode?

When searching for icons, simply click on an icon of your choosing, and the Unicode value will be displayed above the code block showing how the icon can be used.
