U+271F "✟" Outlined Latin Cross Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
✟
U+271F "✟" Outlined Latin Cross is a typographic symbol within the Dingbats block that depicts a Latin cross with a clear, open center, as if drawn only as an outline rather than a solid shape. This design distinguishes it from the solid, filled cross characters like the Latin cross and the heavy Latin cross, giving it a lighter or stenciled appearance suitable for decorative or liturgical contexts. It is often used in religious texts, iconography, or design elements to represent Christianity, faith, or the crucifixion without the visual weight of a filled symbol, and it encodes specifically as U+271F in the Unicode standard.
