How to display text above arrows which are between div boxes-CodePudding

Question:

I have div boxes lined side by side with arrows pointing. I want to write content above the arrow using html css. How can I do that?

My HTML code:

<div id="border"></div><span >&#8594;</span>
<div id="borders"></div>
<span >&#8594;</span>
<div id="borderss"></div>
<span >&#8594;</span>
<div id="bordersss">
</div>

My CSS code:

#border {
  height: 80px;
  width: 10%;
  border: 1px black solid;
  display: inline-block;
}

#borders {
  height: 80px;
  width: 10%;
  border: 1px black solid;
  display: inline-block;
}

#borderss {
  height: 80px;
  width: 10%;
  border: 1px black solid;
  display: inline-block;
}

#bordersss {
  height: 80px;
  width: 10%;
  border: 1px black solid;
  display: inline-block;
}
.arrow {
font-size: 105px;
color: red;
width:115%
}

You can use flexbox and play with them.

<div id='wrapper'>
<div >
  <span>title1</span>
  <span >&#8594;</span>
</div>
<div id="borders"></div>
<div >
  <span>title2</span>
  <span >&#8594;</span>
</div>
<div id="borderss"></div>
<div >
    <span>title3</span>
  <span >&#8594;</span>
</div>
<div id="bordersss">
</div>
</div>

#border {
  height: 80px;
  width: 10%;
  border: 1px black solid;
  display: inline-block;
}

#borders {
  height: 80px;
  width: 10%;
  border: 1px black solid;
  display: inline-block;
}

#borderss {
  height: 80px;
  width: 10%;
  border: 1px black solid;
  display: inline-block;
}

#bordersss {
  height: 80px;
  width: 10%;
  border: 1px black solid;
  display: inline-block;
}
.arrow {
font-size: 105px;
color: red;
width:115%
}
.arrowTitle {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
}
#wrapper{
  display: flex; 
  align-items: center;
}

You can set a :before attribute to .arrow selector.
