Hello, thank you for comprehensive answer. Let met provide you with additional information.
I am at windows 10, using microsoft word 365, installed only one font "font awesome 5 pro-solid-900 otf." Lets say I wish insert your icon: ellipsis-v. with unicode f1c3. I type to application in regular font (e.g. calibri). I see "f881". With selected string I press alt-x and switch to awesome font. The result is a Flask with different unicode (f0c3). With previously mentioned codes above I see a) blank square b) different icon, not matching with your guide. Am I doing something wrong, or is it a bug with font?

let's try the following

Use ligatures

  1. Open word
  2. Select Font Awesome 5 Pro regular
  3. type file-excel
  4. Post a screenshot

Rollback to Font Awesome 5.6.3

Font Awesome 5.7+ has some issues with some softwares and ligatures. Please try again with version 5.6.3 and report results
