| Ballot X | U+2717 | none | none | |

- The x mark is Unicode U+2717 (Ballot X).
- It is a single character: it survives copy and paste into any text field and counts as one character against limits.
The ballot X and its heavy variant mark a failed item or a wrong answer in plain text. The red cross version is an emoji and stays red regardless of your text color. Pair them with the check mark characters for status lists that survive copy and paste.
