Black Diamond Minus White X Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Black Diamond Minus White X because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+2756, which you can use as ❖ in HTML, \2756 in CSS, or type with Alt+10070 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Black Diamond Minus White X is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+2756 is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Black Diamond Minus White X has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ❖ or the hex escape ❖.
