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='fab fa-facebook fa-stack-1x'></i>
