× multiplication x

Meaning & usage

Multiplication x (×) can mark a confirmation, a selection or a contrasting negative result.

A check and an X are not interchangeable; keep the surrounding text explicit when showing a status.

U+00D7 identifies this exact multiplication x form; copying the character preserves its Unicode identity, while its appearance depends on the font or emoji renderer.

The multiplication sign × denotes a product or dimensions, such as 3 × 4. It is not the Latin letter x; searching, formulas and screen readers may treat the two differently.

How to type multiplication x

Windows

Use Win + . for the emoji and symbol panel, or Character Map for supported fonts. In Microsoft Word, enter each hexadecimal code (D7) and press Alt + X. There is no universal decimal Alt code for this character; legacy Alt codes depend on the code page.

Mac

Open Character Viewer with Control + Command + Space and search for multiplication x. With the Unicode Hex Input keyboard enabled, hold Option and enter the UTF-16 units shown above. Standard Option shortcuts do not cover every Unicode symbol.

Linux

In compatible GTK applications, press Ctrl + Shift + U, enter D7, then Enter. Enter each code point separately for sequences. Other desktops or apps may require their character picker.

iPhone & Android

Look for multiplication x in your emoji keyboard if available, or copy it here and paste. Save frequently used symbols as a text replacement or keyboard shortcut; availability varies by keyboard.
