History & usage: The symbol with codepoint AB4A is a Latin small letter double r with a crossed tail. It belongs to the Latin Extended-E block and is part of the Latin script group. In practice, this character is rarely needed in everyday writing. Designers may use it in specialized texts or font sets that cover extended Latin forms. In user interfaces, a cross symbol is often used to denote close or delete actions, or to indicate an incorrect state, when the context supports that interpretation. This usage helps users understand that an item can be removed or that something is not correct. The idea of a cross as a cue also appears in icons or buttons, where the symbol communicates removal or negation. Font support for the character varies; some fonts include it, while others rely on a similar glyph or substitute. Readers may not recognize the character, but it generally carries no fixed meaning unless the UI assigns one. Overall, this is a niche symbol with a practical cross cue in UX, mainly linked to close, delete, or error indications in specific contexts.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+AB4A 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.
