You are escaping your quotes.

You need to use a singular quote when using prepend and a double quote " when you apply the class elements.

For example:

$(this).prepend('<i class="fa fa-facebook-square fa-2x"></i>');

"<i class="fa fa-facebook-square fa-2x"></i>" here you are using " instead of '

change it to: '<i class="fa fa-facebook-square fa-2x"></i>' to prevent errors
