Combine Font font awesome icon with other font awesome icons
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.
In the below example, I am displaying Font font awesome icon on top of icons like fa-square,fa-circle and fa-ban.
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-font fa-stack-1x'></i>
</span>
Font on fa-square<br>
<span class='fa-stack fa-lg'>
<i class='fas fa-circle fa-stack-2x'></i>
