将文本和图像彼此相邻放置而不包裹并控制图像的垂直位置..？

I want to place a little image next to usernames on my website which visitors can click. The image is an icon (16x16 pixels CANNOT CHANGE!) and it needs to be displayed a little lower than the text. I don't know how many characters the username will be, but the entire text+image should not be wrapped over multiple lines...I want to place a little image next to username
