Great idea. You should also explain how to set this up. This is what I had to do:
Download Font Awesome, the "Free for Desktop" option, from its website
Unzip the zip file
Find the .otf (font) files
Double click each one to open it and click Install in the top right
(from https://itsfoss.com/install-fonts-ubuntu/)
Add to the i3 config a line like this (from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32596646/font-awesome-and-i3bar)
font pango:DejaVu Sans Mono, Awesome 8
Add the for_window lines to the i3 config file.
