Font-awesome: Icon Request: broken link

[sandorfr]

font awesome 4 used to have chain-broken: https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/icon/chain-broken

it would be nice to have similar icons in font awesome 5 such as a link-broken which would work nicely with: https://fontawesome.com/icons/link?style=solid

I understand the current version offers unlink as an alternative, but it's design hardly makes sense when not paired with the link icon. I'm looking for something much more selft explanatory. It does not match the consensus around what a broken link should look like as a google image search shows it.

Already here: https://fontawesome.com/icons/unlink?style=solid

No, this does not convey the same meaning at all :(

(I would even say it does not convey any meaning to me without the text, it looks like a weird paper clip)

As per https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/upgrading-from-4#icon-name-changes, unlink is the replacement icon for chain-broken

Feel free to open a new request asking for a design change

I'm not asking for a redesign as some people might like this icon in some use cases. unlink does not mean broken link.

The best would be that you reopen this one and let people vote for it if they agree?

Since unlink is the replacement icon for chain-broken, the icon you are basically asking for, I will definitely reopen this if you edit the first post and you explain why unlink does not fit the use case

Done

I'm having the same problem with the unlink one. The unlink icon is simply not clear enough if it is used without the link icon. I also would like to request the link-broken icon as the icon would make more sense in my application.
