U+274E "❎" Negative Squared Cross Mark is a graphic symbol that depicts a bold, white letter "X" inside a solid orange or dark-colored square, depending on the platform. It is often used in digital interfaces, forms, and checklists to represent a negative response, cancellation, rejection, or an incorrect item, serving as a visual opposite to the check mark or confirmation symbols like U+2705. While sometimes confused with the similar "Cross Mark" U+274C, the Negative Squared Cross Mark stands out due to its enclosing square border, making it more prominent for buttons or actionable UI elements.
