icons stopped working - please help, icons are all CHINESE!

zanetdesign

For some reason after updating to wordpress 4.8 all my icon references using 

eg [icon type="icon-lamp"]

have stopped working

The code is still correct, but it produces chinese characters

Im using the betheme theme and a childtheme with no specific code that has changed

any suggestions?

As a way of giving back to the bethem community after a couple of hours i found the solution 

you need access to your .htaccess file

then add the following and it works

<IfModule mod_headers.c>
    Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
</IfModule>
