Font Awesome will not display in html

I’m building a website according to a tutorial online where I use font awesome for the menu icons. Given that the CDN is present in my code along with the keycodes for the different icons, I can’t see the icon on my webpage.

index.html:

I tried various solutions such as checking whether I was using the right keycodes for the icons in accord with the font awesome version. Can someone help? Thanks in advance

Here’s an image of what it is showing right now:

>Solution :

Update your CDN URL to this:

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free@6.1.1/css/all.min.css

Worked for me after I changed the version.
