How to make old version fontawesome3 work

I am using css content to show - symbol in my page. I have used below code and it was working fine before. But recently noticed that content: "\f117"; does not show my symbol.

Why is this happening now? Has the unicode representing this character changed? I have not included any additional css file. 

.test-thiselemtn:before {
    content: "\f117";
}

Update1:- Updating the question.

The Unicode for - symbol in font awesome is \f068. If it doesn't load by then too, then use font-family: FontAwesome in your CSS. 

.test-thiselemtn:before{ content: "\f068"; font-family: FontAwesome;}

If you don't want to use font awesome then you can use 

.test-thiselememtn:before{ content: "\2012";}
