Fontawesome in nav and social icons not showing up for everyone or on mobile

I am seeking help as i have been at it for hours

I have been trying to add a search icon to the header of my site using font awesome (open to other solutions if recommended) . 

I have tried 2 methods - adding it to the navigation with a :before pseudo however i had to have an actual navigation title so i just used a period so i didnt have to have the word search and just use the icon - not ideal). 

I used this code in the code injection header

 

This CSS in trhe Custom CSS

// ** Search icon in header. ** //

.header-nav-item:nth-child(9) a::before { 
content: '\f002'!important; 
font-family: FontAwesome !important;
display: inline-block;
padding-right: 0px; }

I thought htis worked until I checked it on mobile and shared it with a few colleagues to review,  As seen in the screen capture i see it fine on desktop Chrome but it renders as a sqaufre on mobile and for other uses.

 

I then found this solution in the forum for adding font awesome to the social icons in header. Same results - redners fine on my desktop but not on mobile or for other users.

using the enclosed CSS

// ** Search icon in header. ** //

.header-nav-item:nth-child(9) a::before { 
content: '\f002'!important; 
font-family: FontAwesome !important;
display: inline-block;
padding-right: 0px; }

 

thanks for any help you can provide.
