Font Awesome 5, why is CSS content not showing?
This is not showing because of color -issue . Please follow step :-
Step- 1. Copy this style in your page
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.14.0/css/all.css">
Step- 2. copy this code at the top of your all.css in your page .
@import url("https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.14.0/css/all.css");
Step- 3. Use the font-family and the content and color like
.password_invalid:before {
color: #ff0000;
content: '\f058'; /* You should use \ and not /*/
font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Free"; /* This is the correct font-family*/
position: relative;
margin-left: -36px;
padding-right: 13px;
font-weight: 400;
}

First, you only need to include the CSS file of Font Awesome 5 either in the head tag using:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.13.0/css/all.css">
Or within the CSS file:
@import url("https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.13.0/css/all.css")
Then you need to correct the font-family and the content like below:
@import url("https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.13.0/css/all.css");
.fp-prev:before {
color:#000;
content: '\f35a'; /* You should use \ and not /*/
font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Free"; /* This is the correct font-family*/
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
font-size:40px;
}
<i class="fp-prev"></i>
In some cases, you have to also add
font-weight:900
