Using FontAwesome in select options

[noesteijver]

Hello,

I was wondering if there's a nice way to use FontAwesome icons in select options?

I've tried the following things:

• as html (FontAwesome is loaded in the head)
• as unicode &f0d6; (font-family of the select is set to FontAwesome)

But the two solutions above don't seem to work.

Anybody here found a way to do this? Many thanks!

you need to insert icon code in hexadecimal format

Example

<option >&#xf0e0; Envelope Icon</option>

where f0e0 is unicode of icon http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icon/envelope/
