title: How to add font awesome icon class to google maps labels
body: <p>I have spent hours looking for a way to add font awesome icon class to google maps label class but i cant find the solution. I have tried gmaps and markerwithlabes plugin but still i can't get it to work. I tried overlays too but they get duplicated while zooming.. Here is a piece of my javascript code</p>
  
  <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="true" data-babel="false">
  <div class="snippet-code">
  <pre class="snippet-code-js lang-js prettyprint-override"><code> var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
                             'position': latLng,
                             'icon': markerImage ,
                             'label': {'text': '&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;', 'color': "black"},
                             'optimized': false
  
                         });</code></pre>
  </div>
  </div>
  </p>
