I'm looking for a way to display icons instead of textual tags.
I found this thread from a year ago that provides some code and instructions, but it doesn't specify where the code should be added:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/show-tag-icons-instead-of-tag-text
I'm using a child theme; should I make the changes here, or to the parent theme, and in which file?
Any tips appreciated!

It depends on the theme you are using. However you will generally find some code in your index.php file which says:
<?php the_tags() ?>
Essentially you need to locate where in your template file that its echoing out the text tags and replace it with the code you found on: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/show-tag-icons-instead-of-tag-text

You may want to also look in your theme folder to see if there is a content.php file which may also display show
<?php the_tags() ?>

I don't know PHP enough to understand that, but do you mean I need to find
<?php the_tags() ?>
wherever it is, and replace it with the code from that other thread?

Yes. Essentially in one of your template files you should see the_tags() Note: there maybe some other code within the ( ), but you are looking for the_tags('possibly some code')
Just replace the_tags() with that code and it should work.
