X In A Rectangle Box Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for X In A Rectangle Box because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+2327, which you can use as ⌧ in HTML, \2327 in CSS, or type with Alt+8999 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. X In A Rectangle Box is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+2327 is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. X In A Rectangle Box has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ⌧ or the hex escape ⌧.
