What is the unicode character for the close symbol used by Twitter bootstrap?

Question

Just curious, because I just realized it wasn\'t an actual \"x\" (annoying how long that took to figure out).

Answer 1

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)

• Decimal HTML entity: ✕
• Hex HTML entity: ✕

✖ Heavy Multiplication X (U+2716)

• Decimal HTML entity: ✖
• Hex HTML entity: ✖

❌ Cross Mark (U+274C)

• Decimal HTML entity: ❌
• Hex HTML entity: ❌

I hope these will save somebody some time.
