U+2612 "☒" Ballot Box with X Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
☒
U+2612 "☒" Ballot Box with X is a typographic symbol that represents a marked or selected checkbox, often used in forms, ballots, or lists to indicate a negative choice, rejection, or the completion of a task with a cross. It is part of the Miscellaneous Symbols block in Unicode and is distinct from the similar "☐" Ballot Box and "☑" Ballot Box with Check, as its X mark commonly signifies a "no" or "not applicable" response. Additionally, it appears in digital interfaces, document templates, and infographics as a visual shorthand for choices that are disallowed or untrue, making it a compact, universally recognizable icon for negation or absence of agreement.
