• Option 1: Font CSS version of Font Awesome:

<!-- on your view layout file HEAD section -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.3.1/css/all.css">

• Option 2: SVG / JS version of Font Awesome (e.g. from kartik-v/yii2-icons library):

// on your view layout file
use kartik\icons\FontAwesomeAsset;
FontAwesomeAsset::register($this);
