Cross and X symbols to copy and paste: Latin crosses, Greek crosses, ballot X marks and heavy multiplication signs.

About cross symbols

Two families share this page: faith crosses and X marks. The Latin cross ✝ (U+271D) and its outlined/shadowed variants are dingbats used in faith bios; the ballot Xs ✕ ✖ ✗ ✘ are the marks of rejection — ✖ especially has been adopted by alt aesthetics as a hard, graphic separator. Context is everything: ✝ is devotion, ✖ is edge.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between ✝ and ✚?+

✝ is the Latin cross (longer lower arm) used as a Christian symbol; ✚ is the heavy Greek cross (equal arms) — the medical and Red Cross shape. They're different characters with different meanings, so don't swap them.

Which X symbol is best for an alt bio?+

✖ (heavy multiplication X) — it's thick, symmetrical and reads as a graphic element rather than a typo. String them as ✖ ⋆ ✖ for separators, or flank a word: ✖ name ✖.

How do I type a cross symbol?+

Copy it here — fastest on every device. On Windows the emoji panel (Win+.) has ✝ under symbols; on Mac use the Character Viewer (Ctrl+Cmd+Space).
