Symbol Meaning

A cross-shaped symbol formed by two uneven converging lines. Unlike such symbols as and , it looks more natural, as if an 'x' or a cross written by hand.

Crosses are used in voting ballots and other documents to indicate the correct answer. A cross can also mark different points in lists. The structure is characterized by two thin black lines with no shadows, color irregularities or other details. Unicode has a similar cross for questionnaires and voting ballots — symbol, written in bold.

The symbol “Ballot X” is included in the “Miscellaneous” subblock of the “Dingbats” block and was approved as part of Unicode version 1.1 in 1993.

Text is also available in the following languages: Español; Русский;
