Multiply Emoji

Symbols

A bold, heavy-weight 'X' sign that functions as a mathematical operator or a visual indicator for cancellation. Its thick strokes make it stand out clearly against text, functioning as a firm rejection or a way to mark an item as incorrect.

Usage Context

Widely used to denote that something is wrong, forbidden, or cancelled. It acts as a direct counterpart to the check mark ✔️ in voting, grading, or task lists. Beyond its math role in multiplication, it is frequently used to express a 'no' or to signal the removal of an entry in a digital interface.

History

Adopted into the Unicode standard in 1993, this character serves as a digital evolution of the traditional handwritten 'X' used by editors and teachers for centuries. It remains a fixture in standard character sets to ensure compatibility across global software interfaces where clear, unambiguous negative indicators are required.
