  Looks like you have the wrong syntax. You need to add the columns.render option, for example:

  {"data": "message", 
    "sortable": false,
    "render": function(data, type, row){
      return '<i class="fa fa-file-o"></i><a href=/edit/' + row.id +'></a>';
    }
  },

  Did you download the fontawesome.css?

  Place your i tag somewhere else on the page to see if it displays.

  If you still have problems please post a link to your page or a test case showing the issue so we can help debug.
