Hi,
I don't know i3 at all but some searches suggest [0] to add a `bar` config:
```
bar {
font pango:DejaVu Sans Mono, FontAwesome 8
}
```
Does it helps ?
I think that without help, fontconfig choose the best alternative font
that have the glyph you need which happen to be another font than
font-awesome.
I'm not sure there is much to do on fontconfig side as font-awesome
glyph use private use area unicode code-points.
