Like when using Font Awesome

<i class="fa fa-facebook fa-2x"></i>

@XhmikosR The HTML <i> element represents a range of text that is set off from the normal text for some reason. Using Icon Fonts with <i> is semantically wrong.

You do know you replied in a 4 year-old issue?

@XhmikosR An open issue, is an open issue is open until it's closed. Even older issues can be relevant.

Nah, this was quite irrelevant since the day I made it. But well, our knowledge evolves by the time. :)
