Source: Browser Default
U+271A "✚" Heavy Greek Cross is a typographic symbol featuring a thick, bold Greek cross with four arms of equal length, each ending in a slight serif or flat termination. It is part of the Dingbats block in the Unicode standard and is often used in decorative or religious contexts, symbolizing faith, healing, or medical services, though it is not typically associated with any specific modern medical organization. Its design is heavier and more stylized than the standard plus sign or plain Greek cross, making it suitable for emphasis in digital text, signage, or graphic design.
