Unicode Version 17.0
⌧
U+2327 "⌧" X in A Rectangle Box is a graphic symbol that represents a clear key or cancel function, often found on calculators and other data entry devices as a way to clear an entire entry or reset a value, rather than just deleting a single digit. Its design consists of a large X placed inside a rectangular outline, making it visually distinct from other erasing symbols like the backspace arrow. This character belongs to the Miscellaneous Technical block in Unicode, which includes various symbols used in technical and interface contexts, and it is sometimes referred to as the "erase to the left" symbol in certain keyboard labeling systems.
