Sure. First off, what do you want it changed to? (as the above will remove the lock icon)

To switch it, you simply go to the font-awesome website ( [http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icons/](http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icons/) )

Click on the icon you want (that exists within the version of Font Awesome Discourse is using). Copy its unicode value ( see [http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icon/eye-slash/](http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icon/eye-slash/) )

Paste the unicode value in the “” next to context and put a slash in front

```plaintext
.badge-category i.fa.fa-lock:before { content: "\f070"; }
.category i.fa.fa-lock:before { content: '\f070'; }

```
