Font Awesome Unicode - How to float icon all the way to the right
I know how to do this if the icon was using the traditional <i></i> tags, but instead I am using the fa icon as Unicode after the link.
So my link CSS looks like this:
#menu li a:after {
font-family: FontAwesome;
content: "f054";
display: inline-block;
float: right;
padding-left: 10px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
The icon appears next to the link on the right which is correct, but how can I align the icon all the way to the right??
All the way to the end of the width of the menu.
I'm trying float: right, but I don't think that's correct.

You can take away the float and display properties and use the position and right properties instead
#menu li a:after {
font-family: FontAwesome;
content: "f054";
position: absolute;
right: 0px;
padding-left: 10px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
