Unicode is an international character encoding standard that provides a unique number for every character across languages and scripts, making almost all characters accessible across platforms, programs, and devices.
Unicode. Unicode is a universal character set, ie. a standard that defines, in one place, all the characters needed for writing the majority of living languages in use on computers. It aims to be, and to a large extent already is, a superset of all other character sets that have been encoded.
The multiplication sign ( × ) was a bit too small for what I wanted and increasing the font size broke other things, so I found these larger alternatives:
✕ Multiplication X (U+2715)
✕ ✕ ✖ Heavy Multiplication X (U+2716)
✖ ✖ ❌ Cross Mark (U+274C)
❌ ❌ I hope these will save somebody some time.

It uses ×.
You can use the following to obtain the desired information about any character:
$ perl -Mcharnames=:full -CA -e' printf("U+%04X %s\n", $_, charnames::viacode($_)) for unpack "W*", $ARGV[0]; ' × U+00D7 MULTIPLICATION SIGN If you're going to use it in HTML, you can encode it as follows:
$ perl -MHTML::Entities -CA -e' CORE::say encode_entities($ARGV[0]); ' × × Notes:
