Chart does not display icon when you [use fontawesome](https://mermaid.js.org/syntax/flowchart.html#basic-support-for-fontawesome):

```

But it is ok if you test here:

> **[Online FlowChart & Diagrams Editor - Mermaid Live Editor](https://mermaid.live/edit)**

> Simplify documentation and avoid heavy tools. Open source Visio Alternative. Commonly used for explaining your code! Mermaid is a simple markdown-like script language for generating charts from text via javascript.
