Font awesome not working with tooltip

Question

I would like a tooltip pop up from bootstrap 4 to display when the font awesome icon is clicked. Button nothing is occurring. My code is as follows:

  <a href='#' data-toggle='tooltip' title='Some tooltip text!'><i class='fa fa-info-circle' aria-hidden='true'>&nbsp;</i></a>

would I need to make a javascript function?

EDIT:

I have the following scripts:

    <script   src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.1.min.js"   integrity="sha256-hVVnYaiADRTO2PzUGmuLJr8BLUSjGIZsDYGmIJLv2b8="   crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

Tooltip is an "opt-in" component so you have to call .tooltip() on the elements that you want to have tooltips.

$("[data-toggle='tooltip']").tooltip();

<script src="https://use.fontawesome.com/0a5d051ab0.js"></script>
<div class="container">
<br><br>

<a href='#' data-toggle='tooltip' title='Some tooltip text!'><i class='fa fa-info-circle' aria-hidden='true'>&nbsp;</i></a>
</div>

for some reason it works here but when I add it to my code it won't work — Ace, Mar 10 '17 at 00:49
no I checked in the console but nothing I am just going to rewrite another page and test it further. I do see I am using a different version of bootstrap but even by putting the latest one no effect. — Ace, Mar 10 '17 at 01:36
