Circled Latin Small Letter X Letter Meaning
ⓧ is an enclosed, circled form of the Latin small letter X. Visually, it reads like an “X” that has been highlighted or boxed into a single symbol, making it useful as a marker, badge, or decorative accent. In everyday writing, it may be used to denote “crossed out” or “incorrect” in a lightweight way, or to label items in lists, forms, and UI components without resorting to images. In design and development contexts, it’s often chosen for consistency with other circled characters (same style family) when creating small icon-like text elements.
Common uses
