✖️Meaning and Description

Meet the emoji, also known as the "Multiply", "Black Cross Mark", or "X mark" emoji, this emoji is a familiar sight to many.

The multiplication sign emoji is a simple yet striking symbol. It's a cross-shaped figure, with two lines intersecting at a right angle in the center. The lines extend outwards equally in all four directions, creating a balanced, symmetrical design.

At its core, the emoji is a mathematical symbol used to denote multiplication. However, in the world of emojis, it carries a broader meaning. Just like this cross emoji, the black cross emoji is often used to express a negative response, disagreement, or rejection🙅.

Meanwhile, in genetics and biology, the symbol denotes a female chromosome or organism. The presence of two X chromosomes, as indicated by XX, signifies a female individual. And in a lighter vein, the X symbol is widely used in text messaging and online communication to express affection. It can denote a kiss, as seen in the term XOXO, which means hugs and kisses💋. This use may have roots in the old practice of using an X as a signature to symbolize a kiss in letters💌.

When used in digital messages and social media, people will insert this symbol as a playful way to show rejection, indicate something is wrong, or signal that something has been crossed out. It's an easy shorthand to communicate "no way" or "not gonna happen" without having to type actual words. The emoji allows youth to bring math class vibes to their digital conversations. Besides, it's also used in gaming communities to represent a "miss" or "failure", and will also use as the meaning of "connected, related" in fan fiction (e.g. SamDean).
