Font awesome icon not showing, just box-CodePudding

I tried to use an icon from font awesome but it’s not working, i copied the script link and pasted it to the head tag but it’s just showing a box.

Note: I added the actual kit number, I’m just hiding it here. You can check the image. Screenshot

<head>
  <title>Page Title</title>
  <script src="https://kit.fontawesome.com/my-kit-number.js" crossorigin="anonymous">
    .
  </script>
</head>

<body>
  <i ></i>
  <h1>My First Heading</h1>
  <p>My first paragraph.</p>
</body>

working example image

the reference to 'my-kit-number' is wrong you need to go here: https://fontawesome.com/start and add an email so then you can receive a valid script source replacing 'my-kit-number' for a valid id

The either .fa or .fas must be used. No need for a kit this example is using a free CDN.
