Multiplication X Symbol Meaning
✕ (Multiplication X, Unicode U+2715) is a Dingbats character that visually combines an X-like form commonly associated with multiplication or “times.” In practice, many interfaces also use it as a quick visual signal for “not,” “invalid,” “remove,” or “cancel,” because it reads as a strong cross/mark. While it’s not the same as the standard mathematical “×” character used in formulas, ✕ is widely supported and often chosen for UI labels, badges, and simple annotations. Use it when you want a bold, recognizable cross mark that stands out in text and design elements.
Common uses
- •Indicating an error, invalid input, or a failed item in checklists
- •Marking “cancel” or “remove” actions in buttons and links
- •Separating repeated items in UI labels (e.g., item × count style)
- •Lightweight annotations like “not applicable” in forms
- •Design elements that need a prominent cross icon in text
