FontAwesome UTF-8 Dictionary for Love2D usage

[Pyuu]

As the title says, I just went and typed out, for 8 hours, a dictionary for Font Awesome v4.7 containing all of the terms and the corresponding UTF-8 encoding string in hexadecimal.

Here is a link to the dictionary: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PyuuC ... 20UTF8.txt
An example on how to use this is included in the attachment provided:

wow.... nice job, but next time I think you should use a some regex replace rules or write a little program to convert for example this list of variables from the fontawesome source into your format.

For example a replace of \$fa-var-([\w-]+): "\\([0-9a-f]{4})"; with \1:E\2 in JS regex would've created the list for you from the file I linked: https://regex101.com/r/3yWS8L/1

Thanks. But personally I don't like using regex
I'm not sure if there is a way in lua to convert the \ff00 variables into UTF-8 format.

I use a combination of Lua patterns and the utf8 library included with LÖVE plus Ser to serialize that for the Material-Love icon font
