The Ballot Box X symbol (☒) is one of the checkmarks and crosses characters in the AllSymbols catalog. It belongs to the family of Unicode characters used as positive/negative status indicators — checkmarks and crosses, ballot boxes, and the heavy multiplication x. They are heavily used in to-do lists, comparison tables, and status columns.
Pair check and cross at the same weight: heavy with heavy, thin with thin. A thin check next to a heavy cross reads as “mild yes, strong no” even if you didn’t mean it that way. For checkboxes that show before-and-after state, the empty/checked/x-ed ballot box trio is the cleanest.
In Unicode, Ballot Box X sits at code point U+2612. Web pages reference it with the HTML numeric entity ☒; CSS rules reference it as a quoted hex escape (the four-digit code prefixed with a backslash); in JavaScript and most modern source-code contexts you can either paste the literal character or use a Unicode escape with the same hex digits.
In tables where a check or cross carries the status by itself, add a hidden text label or ARIA equivalent so screen-reader users hear “yes” or “no” rather than the Unicode glyph name.
If Ballot Box X isn’t quite what you need, the Checkmarks and Crosses page lists every related character on the site — including Check Mark and Ballot Box. The related-symbols grid below also surfaces the closest sibling characters.
