Ballot X Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Ballot X because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+2717, which you can use as ✗ in HTML, \2717 in CSS, or type with Alt+10007 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Ballot X is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+2717 is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Ballot X has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ✗ or the hex escape ✗.
