How can I find the pixel size of a Font-Awesome icon?

Question

I am n the process of creating a website, where I have several font-awesome icons. I now wish to create a ribbon background for each icon. How can I go about finding the correct pixel size of such font-awesome icon?

In Font-Awesome v 4.7.0 (the current release), the default font size is 14 px. You can find this in font-awesome.css line 16, or, using your browser's devtools to inspect an icon placed on a website. For each x level of increased size, this goes up by ems (aka, fa-2x is 2 ems, or 28px).
