Crossed Box symbol

Type :crossed_box: · Marks

What ☒ is for

A box with an x through it: rejected, cancelled, explicitly not done. Distinct from the empty box, which just means "not yet".

How to type ☒

The shortcuts below are the built-in routes. With Emoji Anywhere installed you can skip all of them and type :crossed_box: in any text field instead, which is the same on every platform.

macOS

No direct shortcut. Use Edit → Emoji & Symbols, or switch to the Unicode Hex Input source and type 2612 with Option held.

Windows

No Alt code. In Word, type 2612 then press Alt + X. Elsewhere use the emoji panel with Win + Period, or Character Map.
