Thanks, do you know if this icon is available?

i think i’m going to have to add it manually. A little difficult for me  
Would it be this way?

> See also: [We're upgrading our icons to Font Awesome 6!](https://meta.discourse.org/t/were-upgrading-our-icons-to-font-awesome-6/325349) We will shortly merge into master a [branch](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/tree/fontawesome5) that upgrades Discourse to Font Awesome 5.5.0 (the free version) and switches to using SVG icons instead of an icon font. This is a substantial change, with lots of benefits, and one significant change for developers. Here is a quick rundown of the changes: using SVG icons will provide crisper icons, better for accessibility and easier to customize, see [this Github article](https://blog.github.com/2016-02-22-delivering-octicons-with-svg/) for more details since…

_In plugins_ : simply include an SVG sprite file in the `plugins/your-plugin-name/svg-icons` folder. Restart your server (if in dev) or rebuild the site if in a Docker container and your custom icons should be automatically available .

Could someone give me a summary of how to add the mask icon in a forum that has digital ocean and does not know anything? Thank you
