In some of my tikz pictures I use symbols from the fontawesome package.

Screenshot

(The long line of the checkmark should be on the left side.)

Question

How can I mirror symbols in tikz?

MWE

\documentclass[border=2mm]{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{fontawesome}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}

    % Check    
    \draw (0,0) node {\faCheck}; 

    % Rectangle  
    \node [draw, thick, shape=rectangle, minimum width=3cm, minimum height=2cm, anchor=center] at (0,0) {};

\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

What I tried so far

This solution

\begin{scope}[yscale=-1,xscale=1]
\draw (0,0) node {\faCheck}; 
\end{scope}

doesn't do the trick.

If you want to reflect at the x axis, try\draw (0,0) node[yscale=-1,xscale=1] {\faCheck};, and if you want to reflect at the y axis, which makes the long side appear on the left side, use \draw (0,0) node[yscale=-1,xscale=1] {\faCheck};. (Source: the very title page of the pgfmanual. ;-)
