Source: Browser Default
U+271B "✛" Open Centre Cross is a typographic symbol featuring a cross shape with empty, open space at its center, where the four arms meet, creating a distinct hollow appearance. Unlike standard crosses that have a solid intersection, this design emphasizes the void in the middle, giving it a lighter, more geometric or decorative quality. It is part of the Dingbats block in Unicode, which contains various ornamental symbols, and is often used in graphic design, signage, or as a stylistic alternative to traditional cross symbols in visual contexts.
