Two diagonal strokes crossing, marking error, dismissal or closure.
Also known as: Close button
Two crossed diagonals mark something as wrong, or close what is on screen. The two jobs sit uncomfortably together: the same mark rejects a value and dismisses a window.
Marks an item as incorrect or rejected, and in a window or dialogue closes it.
Contexts: Software
Carrying both jobs is a recognised ambiguity: the same mark that rejects a value dismisses the panel containing it, and which is meant has to be read from position.
Contexts: Software
Two straight strokes of equal length crossing at their midpoints on the diagonal, forming four equal arms.
The same crossed diagonals: in arithmetic they multiply, in an interface they close or reject.
Both are used in software contexts.
