Font-awesome: Icon Request: Chinese 12 symbolic animals

[yarcowang]

I'm not quite sure...I mean it is funny. For example, you could use dragon as icon font with your name, that is really cool.
But i don't know others like it or not...
(these symbolic animals represent a circle of years -- each for one year, so if you born then you tagged one animal -- mine is monkey)

Ox patient,丑牛 
Tiger sensitive,寅虎 
Rabbit articulate,卯兔
