History & usage: BALLOT BOX WITH BOLD SCRIPT X depicts the ballot box with a bold X. In UI it can indicate a completed vote or a chosen option in forms and surveys. It also signals a decision or rejection when used in messages about polling or results. A third use is as a symbol for voided or canceled choices in feedback flows. The meaning can shift based on context, so choose wording that matches intent. Expect color and style differences across platforms and fonts, and test in your app. For accessibility, provide surrounding text that clearly explains the symbol. Cross‑platform, the emoji may look different, and a monochrome fallback might appear if color emoji is not supported. Use it thoughtfully to avoid ambiguity in formal content.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F5F7 in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.

Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
