    Hi! I recently realized the icon for the drop down is a square and it’s suppose to be a chevron (arrow). I thought it might’ve been due to an update so I restored my old database & files from when I assume it was still okay. It didn’t changed anything. I regenerated the CSS, flushed the cache, load font awesome 4 support is on, I switched it on & off, no change. I e-mailed Astra pro and submitted a ticket but it’s been more than 24 hours and I would like to fix this ASAP! Hope someone can help! Thanks in advance!

    Apparently the character codes for the chevron glyphs in the Astra font no longer exist. This is something Astra will need to resolve for you. In the interim, the following should show something better than the rectangle. Add this to the Additional CSS panel of the customizer:

    .ast-button-wrap .menu-toggle .menu-toggle-icon::before {
        content: "\2304";
        font-size: 250%;
        font-weight: 700;
        margin-top: -1.5em;
        position: absolute;
    }
    .ast-button-wrap .menu-toggle.toggled .menu-toggle-icon::before {
        content: "\2303";
    }

    This will need to be removed when ever there’s a proper fix in place, or turn it into a comment by demarcating with /* */. You can fiddle with the dimensional values (% and em units) if you like.

    Thanks @bcworkz for the temp solution. I was having the same issue and this worked. I am noticing the submenu toggle is still showing the erroneous square instead of a chevron/carat. Wondering if you had any tips for that section. The part in your CSS I am not familiar with is the * content: “/2304” * (or “/2303”, respectively). The site with the issue is https://hometownlandbuyer.com/.

    Appreciate any insight! Thank you!

    @bcworkz Adding to my post above, I see that content: “\2304” etc is used for the chevron icon. However, I’m still unable to get it to work for my sub-menu.

    Thanks @bcworkz for the solution…

    Hi @bcworkz Sorry for the delayed response of gratitude but thanks for your help! I think I applied some code in there and that fixed it, but I also realized it’s good practice to have a child theme, not sure if that was messing with it as well + what you said about the chevron not being in existence. Thanks again for all of your help and glad to see it helped others!
