The Cross Mark 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, Cross Mark sits at code point U+274C. 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 Cross Mark 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.
Type 274C then press Alt+X in Word; in other apps, copy ❌ from this page and paste it. You can also copy ❌ straight from this page — it pastes into any app.
Press Ctrl+Cmd+Space to open the Character Viewer, then search for the symbol by name.
The cross mark symbol is Unicode code point U+274C. In HTML, use ❌ or the numeric reference ❌.
