Not sure why it's appearing as boxes. I believe it's due to my lacking the fonts necessary to display the characters, but I'm not 100%.
Edit:
I forgot to mention. I only have this issue on Linux. I put it in the Linux category but forgot to mention it here. So here is this edit.
Arch Linux using Vivaldi-stable on awesome window manager.
I only have default fonts installed. Nothing custom. ... Aside from reinstalling ttf-dejavu when my terimnal, urxvt, suddenly decided every character was an ornate symbol.
You're missing your carets!
Looking through Chrome's element browser there's something about fontawesome.io, but it looks like a CSS font thing?

Found a stackoverflow thread on it.
This is outdated, as for font awesome 4.0 the cdn does everyting for you: fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/get-started/#bootstrapcdn I still can't render the font on localhost, though.
Hmm, I'm not sure how it'd be a website problem if it works on Windows. Bizarre.
I am using Vivaldi, which is based on Chromium, so maybe it's a strange combination of Vivaldi+Linux that does it? It works fine with Vivaldi+Windows.
I've noticed that it does the same thing on Paypal, as an example.
Well, I figured that out. I installed this package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ttf-font-awesome
And that fixed my whole issue. Thank you for the help.
