How to Implement Font Awesome icons in the new Developer Portal?

Just as the title suggests, I am looking for a way to use Font Awesome icons on my API Management new developer portal. My developer portal is managed, not self-hosted.

The style guide has the option to select icons, so I assume they are available for use in the developer portal. However, I can't figure out if and how the icons can be used at all. Ideally, I am hoping to display icons in text boxes, but I would just like to know how they can be used in general. Do I need to add them through the source code?

Thank you for your help!

    Hello @Hinako Jefferson , Thank you for reaching out.

    As mentioned by you, we can add Font Awesome icons from the styles guide as shown below.

    Additionally you can also create your own customized button from the Styles guide if required. Please let me know if there are any concerns, Thank you!
