How can the text be centered horizontally and vertically when there is a < I > on the button side?

<button> <i class="material-icons">
        favorite_border
        </i></button>
        

I use Google"s material icon
just to make my text appear below, and icon gets big

how to center its text vertically?


vertical-align: middle


text is centered just like button's height, and the text is vertically centered in button.
to align the bottom of the text with the bottom of the text, it's best to make the text and icon look the same size.
I often use float positioning. You can also use flex layout


to vertical-align: middle the I tag to see if it works


set a height, for button and the same line-height for text

    <style>
        button {
            height: 100px;
        }

        span {
            line-height: 100px;
        }
    </style>
    <button>
        <span></span>
        <i class="material-icons">
            favorite_border
        </i>
    </button>

my usual method is to set position:relative; top:3px; directly to this I tag
