Node-sass: Encoding issues (with FontAwesome)

[timo002]

Hello,

I'm using gulp-sass to compile a custom set of icons from FontAwesome. In the FontAwesome _variables.scss, there is a variable $fa-var-home

$fa-var-home: "\f015";

After running gulp-sass, this is compiled into a weird character:

.fa-home:before {
  content: "";
}

Why doesn't it say \f015?

I added @charset "UTF-8"; at the top of my main.scss file.

Versions:

• NPM version: 3.10.10
• Node version: 6.10.2
• Node Process:
  
  
  
  • http_parser: '2.7.0',
  
  
  • node: '6.10.2',

  • icu: '58.2',
  
  
  • modules: '48',
  
  
  • openssl: '1.0.2k'
  
  
• Node Platform: darwin
• Node architecture: x64
• node-sass version: error running cmd
• npm node-sass versions: empty, ERR! code 1

I also added this issue first on the gulp-sass page. https://github.com/dlmanning/gulp-sass/issues/603#issuecomment-296236512

This is on purpose and part of the CSS spec. It's a different way to encode
the character.
