Unicode Version 17.0
🆇
U+1F187 "🆇" Negative Squared Latin Capital Letter X is a graphical symbol classified under the Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement block, primarily designed for use in interface labels and signage to represent a negative or canceling function, often standing in for concepts like "close," "block," or "no" in squared icon forms. It depicts a bold, white Latin capital letter X set against a solid black square, resembling a stop or prohibition sign commonly found in software buttons, remote controls, or digital menus. While less frequently used in plain text than its circled or positive counterparts, this character serves as a distinct visual cue in contexts where space is limited and a clear, unambiguous negation icon is required.
