History & usage: The symbol CROSS PATTY WITH RIGHT CROSSBAR is a cross mark in the Supplemental Punctuation block. Its code point is U+2E50, hex 2E50. In text, this symbol is used as a close or delete indicator in user interfaces, or to show an incorrect state, depending on the context. It appears in fonts that support punctuation marks beyond the basic set. Designers choose it when they want a simple cross symbol without a full X or checkmark. The usage note describes it as a cross that can signal removal, dismissal, or error in UI. Because its meaning relies on context, it may be paired with other cues like tooltips or labels to avoid confusion. The history of this symbol is tied to extended punctuation sets used in digital typography. It is part of the common repertoire of symbols for interface states and validation feedback. When seen, users expect a nonverbal indicator of action or status.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2E50 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.
