WHY IS FONT AWESOME NOT SHOWING ON WEBPAGE

I copied a live (working) example of fa code from w3cschool but it's not showing up on Sololearn app and quickedit android app when I try to preview the page. I don't know why it is behaving like this. Here's the code below: https://code.sololearn.com/WEjiJR9JrdBM/?ref=app

Yeah, that's true Abhay, but the weirdest thing is that I managed to fix the problem by 1. removing the space between (link) and (rel) keyword so that it becomes <linkrel="sty.....> Then 2. I re-inserted another space so it becomes <link rel="styl.......> TRY AND SEE And the above fixed the issue. I don't know why it happened but thanks for helping.

Maybe it has something to do with copying ,I copied your example but didn't work so I rewrote it and works fine now https://code.sololearn.com/WcMmszjJYuuB/?ref=app

You are using older version of font-awesome. Just use latest version of font-awesome. Go to cdnjs.com. Search for font-awesome copy the first result. Pest it over old font-awesome link

Abhay I just check yours and it worked. What could i have missed in my code, because everything seems fine when I look at the code?

Keleos William Try open your original code (above) via a browser, I can see invalid characters marked with red that way.
