In font awesome icons,using stacking we can combine multiple icons and display it as one icon.

To do that use the fa-stack class on the parent, the fa-stack-1x for the regularly sized icon, and fa-stack-2x for the larger icon.

And use class fa-inverse for an alternative icon color.

And used fa-inverse in the second example to invert the color of the icon.

<div>
    <span class='fa-stack fa-lg'>
        <i class='far fa-square fa-stack-2x'></i>
        <i class='fas fa-link fa-stack-1x'></i>
    </span>
      Link on fa-square<br>
    <span class='fa-stack fa-lg'>
        <i class='fas fa-circle fa-stack-2x'></i>
