html - remove bottom padding from font awesome icon

Question

I'm trying to remove the bottom padding from a font awesome icon. I tried this answer, but no success.

Here is an example. Because of this padding I have an unwanted spacing between the two table rows (see example).

table {
  width: 100%;
  table-layout: fixed;
}

.firstrow > td {
    padding-top: 10px;
}

.datarow > td > div {
  overflow: hidden;
  padding-top: 5px;
  font-size: 16px;
}

.datarow > td > div > div {
  float: left;
  padding-right: 5px
}

          <tr class="dx-theme-accent-as-text-color" style="font-weight: bold">
            <td>{{frc.version}}</td>
          </tr>
          <tr class="firstrow">
            <td>VA</td>
            <td>BA</td>
            <td>Bevétel</td>

                <i class="fas fa-sort-up" style="font-size: 32px; color: #5cb85c;"></i>
              </div>
            </td>
            <td>
              <div>
                <div>-20,99M€</div>
                <i class="fas fa-sort-up" style="font-size: 32px; color: #d9534f;"></i>

Answer 1

the problem isn't padding. The icon occupies all that space. Use absolute positioning

table {
  width: 100%;
  table-layout: fixed;
}

.firstrow > td {
    padding-top: 10px;
}

.datarow > td > div {
  overflow: hidden;
  padding-top: 5px;
  font-size: 16px;
}

.datarow > td > div > div {
  float: left;
  padding-right: 5px
}
