Font Awesome 5 - Inversion of the icon position

Do you know a solution to reverse the position of an icon please?

enter image description here

I have found a solution, however I don't understand the properties.

-webkit-transform: scaleX(-1);
-moz-transform: scaleX(-1);
-o-transform: scaleX(-1);
transform: scaleX(-1);
filter: FlipH;
-ms-filter: "FlipH";

I am looking for a solution simple... 

.fa{
font-size: 23px;
color: blue;
margin-right: 10px;
-webkit-transform: scaleX(-1);
-moz-transform: scaleX(-1);
-o-transform: scaleX(-1);
transform: scaleX(-1);
filter: FlipH;
-ms-filter: "FlipH";
}

<div class="subtitle-right"><i class="fa fa-phone"></i>+(11)123 456 7890,</div>

Solution

  • An easy solution would be to consider the styling already provided by Font Awesome (https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/on-the-web/styling/power-transforms)

    .fa-phone{
  font-size: 23px;
  color: blue;
  margin-right: 10px;
}
    <script  src="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.7.2/js/all.js"></script>

<div class="subtitle-right"><i class="fas fa-phone"></i>+(11)123 456 7890,</div>

<div class="subtitle-right"><i class="fas fa-phone" data-fa-transform="flip-h"></i>+(11)123 456 7890,</div>
