Cross Symbol on Keyboard in Word/Excel (†, ✝, ✗, ×, +) — How to Type It
When people search for a “cross symbol”, they don’t always mean the same thing.
Some people mean the dagger (†) they saw in Microsoft Word. Others mean a Christian/Latin cross (✝). Many mean an X/cross mark (✗ / ✕ / ✖) for “wrong” or “close”. And a huge number of people actually mean the multiplication sign (×) — not the letter x.
This guide helps you pick the right cross first, then shows the fastest ways to type it in Word, Excel, Google Docs, and on Windows, Mac, iPhone, and Android.
