Cannot display icon font icomoon

I have tried to follow the lesson and display an icomoon character I selected but I just get a weird character as if the link path was wrong.

This is all what I did:

  1. I placed the icon folder here "app/assets/icons"

  2. I wrote the css rules on this file "bootstrap.css" @font-face { font-family: 'icomoon'; src: url('../icons/icomoon.eot'); src: url('../icons/icomoon.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('../icons/icomoon.woff') format('woff'), url('../icons/icomoon.ttf') format('truetype'), url('../icons/icomoon.svg#icomoon') format('svg'); }

  3. I wrote the css that displays the icon on the same "bootstrap.css" file .page-header:after { content: "\e602"; font-family: 'icomoon'; }

Is there something I am doing wrong?

Yes, indeed the link path was wrong. I moved the fonts to "app/assets/stylesheet/" And change de link path to "icons/icomoon.eot" and so on...Now it works!
