Lets Start!
For this, the first thing we need is the NODE ID. Hover or click on any node and check the URL:

Now move to Xenforo Admin Panel > Appearance > Templates and search for extra.less.
Now add the below code:

content: "\f8bc";
}replace idxx with your node id and replace \f8bc with your desired font awesome icon.
Click Save when done.
