U+274C "" Cross Mark is a bold, red "X" shaped symbol officially classified as a "Cross Mark" in the Dingbats block, commonly used in digital communication to indicate negation, cancellation, rejection, or an incorrect answer. Its striking red color and thick lines make it easily recognizable across platforms, where it often appears as a stylized, filled-in red X without a surrounding circle or box. The character serves as a direct counterpart to the green checkmark symbol and is frequently employed in user interfaces, forms, and messaging apps to signal that something is wrong, forbidden, or has been removed.
