How to Use Multiplication Sign
To use the Multiplication Sign symbol (×) in HTML, insert the
entity × directly into your markup. The decimal entity × works in any HTML-serialised document.
In CSS pseudo-elements use content: '\D7';.
In JavaScript and TypeScript the escape '\u00D7' evaluates to ×. In Python source, write '\u00D7'.
The character encodes to C3 97 as UTF-8 bytes and 00D7 as UTF-16 code units. Its decimal codepoint is 215.
This is a text-based Unicode character. It will render in the current font on most platforms. If a font lacks this glyph, the browser may show a placeholder or fall back to a system font.
