"Unexpected discrepancy: Bootstrap Glyphicon fails to appear on webpage, however, is visible

I am having some trouble getting the glyphicon to display properly in my side nav. The arrow head should rotate down, which is a pretty standard feature.

Here is the link to the page:

The glyphicon should be visible on the "Nicky's Folders" top level title in the side nav.

I found this cool snippet for dropdown functionality and arrow animation: check out this lightweight solution for side nav dropdowns

So far, I have tried moving the span around within the HTML and changing its color using DevTools. I've also looked into common issues related to glyphicons not displaying, but to no avail.

I suspect it might just be a simple mistake that I'm overlooking...

You can see that the glyph icons work in the fiddle example below (unfortunately the JavaScript doesn't yet): https://jsfiddle.net/vaughnick/f4gkxx4n/
