History & usage: The LIGHT GREEK CROSS depicts the LIGHT GREEK CROSS glyph. It can be used as a close or cancel symbol in user interfaces, signaling a nearby action that dismisses or removes content. It can also mark an incorrect state in forms or validation, guiding users to review their input. In dialogs, it may help users safely exit a modal or cancel an operation. Across platforms, it should be tested for consistent size and contrast, and be given an accessible label for screen readers so all users recognize its function.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F7A2 in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.

Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
