Add icon to select dropdown - html

I'm trying to add in an icon to the end of a select group. I've abs positioned the pseudo element but I'm unable to see it.
Markup:
<select id="signup-sector" name="signup-sector" class="signup-select">
<option value="sector">Sector</option>
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>
</select>
CSS:
select.signup-select::after {
content: "\f107;";
position: absolute;
top: 5px;
right: 5px;
font-size: 20px;
color: black;
}
The select has a position relative set.

.signup-select:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
right: 10px;
top: 3px;

Icon not displaying properly inside option element

Inside the spacing-container div, I'm setting an image to appear to the right-hand side of the options, the image is a line spacer icon. However, when I set this icon it's just a big black mark. I've tried resizing it but not got very far with it. The icons which I'm using in the two other divs are working, which display a drop-down icon.
Further, I was hoping to store the icons locally, but when I set the icons they do not come through when I set the background to find the images locally. My file structure is as follows:
CSS
--> CssImages
--> -- down-chevron.png
--> -- line-spacing.png
main.css
and I was importing them in this format in my css file.
background: transparent url("CSS/CssImages/down-cheron.png")
Unfortunately this didn't seem to work, however, upon inspecting in developer tools the images were being pulled through to the local host.
My HTML is here:
<div class="tool-bar">
<div class="options-container">
<select>
<option value = "times-new-roman">Times New Roman</option>
<option value = "arial">Arial</option>
<option value = "courier-new">Courier New</option>
<option value = "verdana">Verdana</option>
</select>
</div>
<div class="options-container font-container">

<option value = "8">8</option>
<option value = "10">10</option>

<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="1.5">1.5</option>

I appreciate your time and your advice with the matter.
Thank you,
The icon you are using is too big, that's why it is not visible. So, you have to use background-size property.

Trying to put my own caret icon in custom dropdown

I'm trying to put my own caret icon at the right most end of the maindiv for this custom dropdown. How can I achieve this?
.maindiv{
width: 200px;
height: 40px;
overflow: hidden;
border: 1px solid black;
border-radius: 3px;
}
.maindiv select{
width: 240px;
height: 40px;
border: none;
}
<div class="maindiv">
<select name="" id="">
<option value="">Item 1</option>
<option value="">Item 2</option>
<option value="">Item 3</option>
</select>
<!-- i want to put my own caret icon here -->
</div>
You need to use pseudo css :after to .maindiv and set .maindiv to position: relative
.maindiv{
width: 200px;
height: 40px;
overflow: hidden;
border: 1px solid black;
border-radius: 3px;
position: relative; // Added
}
.maindiv select{
-webkit-appearance: none;
-moz-appearance:none;
-ms-appearance:none;
appearance:none;
width: 100%;
height: 40px;
border: none;
}
.maindiv:after {
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 5px 5px 0 5px;
border-color: #007bff transparent transparent transparent;
position: absolute;
right: 10px;
content: "";
top: 18px;
pointer-event: none;
}
<div class="maindiv">
<select name="" id="">
<option value="">Item 1</option>
<option value="">Item 2</option>
<option value="">Item 3</option>
</select>
<!-- i want to put my own caret icon here -->
</div>
/*create a parent div with position relative*/
.maindiv .select,
.maindiv .select-font{

</div>
there is a default icon ,the problem is the width of your select tag is higher than the width of main div
You can do something like this:
.maindiv {
width: 200px;
height: 40px;
overflow: hidden;
border: 1px solid black;
border-radius: 3px;
position: relative;
}
.maindiv span {
position: absolute;
right: 10px;
top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%);
font-size: .8em;
}
.maindiv select {
width: 240px;
height: 40px;
border: none;
}
<div class="maindiv">
<select name="" id="">
<option value="">Item 1</option>
<option value="">Item 2</option>
<option value="">Item 3</option>
</select>
<span>▼</span>
</div>
Just added display: flex; to maindiv
.maindiv{
width: 200px;
height: 40px;
overflow: hidden;
border: 1px solid black;
border-radius: 3px;
display: flex;
}
.maindiv select{
width: 240px;
height: 40px;
border: none;
}
<div class="maindiv">
<select name="" id="">
<option value="">Item 1</option>
<option value="">Item 2</option>
<option value="">Item 3</option>
</select>
<!-- i want to put my own caret icon here -->

Browser zoom is causing weird behavior select box

I got a question regarding browser zoom and my select box. I have created a custom select box with the current HTML and CSS code (JSFIDDLE):
.custom-select {
position: relative;
width: 100px;
display: inline-block;
}
.custom-select select {
width: 100%;
padding: 8px 5px 8px 10px;
height: 36px;
border: 1px solid #cacaca;
color: #0085c8;
}
.custom-select.svg > svg.dropdown-button {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
width: 34px;
height: 34px;
background-color: #fff;
background-image: url(https://cdn0.iconfinder.com/data/icons/solid-line-essential-ui-icon-set/512/essential_set_down-16.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
pointer-events: none;
border: 1px solid #cacaca;
color: #0085c8;
display: inline-block;
}
<div class="custom-select svg">
<select>
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
<option value="Volkswagon Polo">Volkswagon Polo</option>
</select>
<svg class="dropdown-button"></svg>
</div>
Whenever you scale down your browser to for example 75% I get the following situation:
Where the word POLO is cutoff. What am I doing wrong? This should not be zooming sensitive right? Can you set CSS styling to specific zoom levels?
--EDIT
Increasing the width is not an option due to the fact that the select is been placed inside a div with a maximum width of 150px
You can try with giving auto width to your custom select box.
.custom-select
{
position: relative;
width:100px;
display:inline-block;
overflow:hidden
}
.custom-select select{
width:auto;
padding: 8px 5px 8px 10px;
height:36px;
border: 1px solid #cacaca;
color: #0085c8;
}
