Negative Diagonal Cross 🮽
🮽 (U+1FBBD) is a standard Unicode character that you can copy and paste anywhere text is accepted. This page provides a concise reference with safe tips, internal links, and practical guidance so you can use it reliably across apps and platforms.
What it is and where it’s used: Negative Diagonal Cross is part of the Symbols family (block: Symbols for Legacy Computing). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.
History & usage: The NEGATIVE DIAGONAL CROSS depicts the official name. In UI design, it can denote close or delete actions when the symbol is used next to a button or control. It also signals an incorrect or stopped state in forms or dialogs where user input is not accepted. In icons and status indicators, the symbol may represent cancellation or removal of a choice. Across platforms, ensure clear text labels and accessible descriptions so screen readers convey its meaning. Keep contrast high and provide keyboard focus indicators for easy navigation. This helps users understand the symbol’s intent regardless of device, app, or assistive technology.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1FBBD 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.

Compatibility & troubleshooting

Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
