Multiply

Description

The multiply emoji (✖️) features a bold, crossed symbol resembling two lines intersecting to create an ‘X’. Primarily representing multiplication in mathematics, it also conveys the idea of cancellation or negation in various contexts. For example, it can symbolize a choice to eliminate options in decision-making, making it a favorite in playful conversations. Beyond its mathematical roots, in some cultures, this symbol represents risk-taking. Did you know it’s often used in modern art to challenge notions of addition by suggesting that less can be more?
