Plus Cross symbol

Type :plus_cross: · Marks

What ✚ is for

A heavy cross with equal arms, reading as "add" or as the medical cross depending on context. Heavier than the plus sign, which is an operator rather than a mark.

How to type ✚

The shortcuts below are the built-in routes. With Emoji Anywhere installed you can skip all of them and type :plus_cross: 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 271A with Option held.

Windows

No Alt code. In Word, type 271A then press Alt + X. Elsewhere use the emoji panel with Win + Period, or Character Map.
