Twitter was renamed to X back in March 2023. This draft attempts to update the jQuery site's Twitter account to X, including the icon and link.
Since jQuery uses Font Awesome 3.0.2, which does not include the x-twitter icon and is only supported in the latest 7.x version, I tried upgrading jQuery's Font Awesome from 3.0.2 to 7.2.0. Upon updating to version 7.2.0, I discovered that some icons had been removed or their Unicode had changed, and I updated accordingly.
The updated icon style is as follows:
footer(new):
T9VKZINJ()V} 9Z~C{MFTG
footer(old):
1
learn(new):

learn(old):

Thank you for this! While you're making changes here, could you add a link to jQuery's mastodon? https://social.lfx.dev/@jquery

font-family: "FontAwesome";
src: url("../lib/FontAwesome/fontawesome-webfont.woff2") format("woff2"),
url("../lib/FontAwesome/fontawesome-webfont.woff") format("woff");
src: url("../lib/FontAwesome/fa-brands-400.woff2") format("woff2");

I'd like to keep woff in there as well. We still get some traffic from early IE versions and technically jQuery 4.0 still supports IE11.

Oh, I think that should be fine. I just noticed that issue #455 mentions changing FontAwesome to SVG icons. I plan to launch a new pull later using SVG instead of FontAwesome.
