I solve my problem by adding these css code:

.bi {
        position: absolute;
        font-size: 60px;
        margin-left: 100px;
        margin-top: 50px;
        background-color: white;
    }

(Edit)

I would do it differently. Using absolute units (i.e., px) is not the best option. Why? Because it might look good on the screen you’re working on, but it will certainly look different (i.e., won’t be centered) on a smaller or bigger screen. Instead, use the relative units (i.e., %). Also, I added .img_wrapper container.

Note: The CSS I added could also be applied via Bootstrap classes, but I didn’t do it on purpose, so you can better see what CSS I’ve added.

See the snippet below.

.image-thumbnail {
  object-fit: cover;
  height: 100%;
}

.my_card {
  height: 100%;
}

.img_wrapper {
  position: relative;
}

img.image-thumbnail {
  width: 100%;
}

.bi {
  position: absolute;
  left: 50%;
  top: 50%;
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}
