The multiplication sign, a heavy diagonal cross used in mathematics to denote multiplication
Meaning
The multiplication sign, a heavy diagonal cross used in mathematics to denote multiplication. In conversation it commonly marks something as wrong, cancelled, or rejected, functioning as a negative counterpart to a checkmark. It can also stand for closing, deleting, or dismissing an item in interfaces. Emotional tone is often blunt or dismissive. Occasionally it represents voting against or a simple "no." Usage overlaps with the letter X and other cross symbols, so intent can be ambiguous without context.
