Centering Bootstrap Icons Horizontally-CodePudding

I'm having trouble centering Bootstrap Icons inside my buttons. As you can see, the icon isn't centered horizontally. I can't get it to work (I've tried text-align, flexbox with justify-content, ...), because apparently the "letter" itself is taking up some extra space on the right - at least that's what it looks like to me. Can anybody help me?

body {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
}

button {
    padding: 4px;
    font-size: 24px;
    text-align: center;
}

This doesn't have anything to do with text as what you are trying to center is the i element. Therefore it's the button that needs to be displayed as flex and to set the centering.

body {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
}

button {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
    padding: 4px;
    font-size: 24px;
}

Check now if it solves your problem. I think it is centered now.
