Detailed Introduction
The ✖️ emoji, primarily known as the Multiplication Sign, conveys emotions of negation, rejection, or cancellation. In mathematics, it is widely used to denote multiplication operations. Beyond math, it commonly indicates that something is incorrect, invalid, or should be canceled—such as marking wrong answers on tests, declining options in forms, or rejecting ideas in discussions. On digital platforms, it may also symbolize 'no' in responses or signal the removal of content. Its simple cross shape makes it universally recognizable for conveying negation across various contexts.
