I’ve been struggling with icons for a long time and I can’t get any of them to work!! And the strangest thing is that some of them work and so don’t.  
I’ve been working with these sets of icons:

[https://infinitered.github.io/ionicons-version-3-search/](https://infinitered.github.io/ionicons-version-3-search/)  
[ionicos.com](http://ionicos.com)

Any ideas?

Same issue: [Freebsd-devil bug](https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/freebsd-devil-bug/50597/5)

Solution: Don’t use [ionicons.com](http://ionicons.com); use this page: [https://ionicframework.com/docs/v2/ionicons/](https://ionicframework.com/docs/v2/ionicons/)

When you click on an icon on that page, the exact code you need to use will pop up.
