Cross Symbols Copy and Paste

1. Browse Christian, typographic, or geometric cross groups.

2. Click a symbol to copy it as plain Unicode text.

3. Paste into a document, caption, or chat where text is allowed.

These are Unicode characters you can select and paste—not images and not a font file. Support varies by app and device, so test uncommon glyphs before publishing.

This board keeps 22 unique character sequences for religious, typographic, and geometric cross-shaped marks. It deliberately omits the inverted-cross theme; the groups help browsing and do not standardize every religious or cultural meaning of a symbol.

LiteralKit deduplicates exact character sequences and corrects this selection when a source or grouping needs revision.

† (U+2020 DAGGER) is a typographic obelisk: the footnote mark you see after a sentence, not a church glyph. ‡ is a double dagger for a second footnote. ✝ (U+271D LATIN CROSS) is the Christian dingbat people usually want when they search “cross symbol.” ✞ is a shadowed white Latin cross—the same idea with a drop-shadow that some fonts draw as a “sticker” Latin cross. ✟ is outlined; ✠ is Maltese; ☦ Orthodox; ☨ Lorraine; ☩ Jerusalem. Those last few are specific Christian and heraldic forms, not decorations you should paste because they “look fancy.” If you need a simple Christian cross in running text, ✝ is the default; if you need a footnote, use †.

X-shaped marks are a different job. ✗ (ballot X) and ✘ (heavy ballot X) mean “wrong” or “no,” not a crucifix. They sit here because people search “cross” for both a Christian cross and an X. They are not check marks. ✓, ✔, ☑, and ✅ live on Check Mark Symbols; this page does not repeat that collection’s tick-versus-emoji distinctions. + is a plus sign; × is multiplication; ☓ is a saltire (St Andrew’s cross). Mixing them is how a math worksheet gets a Latin cross and a memorial post gets a ballot X.

This board is a curated safe set. Inverted crosses, extremist packs, and shock-symbol lists are omitted on purpose. That is not a missing-font problem. Geometric asterisks such as ✢ ✣ ✤ ✥ are ornamental four-spoke marks; they can look like stars or flowers at small size, but they are grouped here as other crosses and asterisks, not as Star Symbols or Flower Symbols. Heavy Greek cross ✚, outlined Greek cross ✙, open centre cross ✛, and heavy open centre cross ✜ are plus-like dingbats that some UIs use as add or close icons. Read the Unicode name on the card.

What this page is not: it is not a check-mark picker, not a new symbols guide, and not a hate-symbol catalog. It is not an icon font. Click copies one character. If a rare heraldic cross boxes on a phone, fall back to † or ✝. Screen readers may say “dagger,” “latin cross,” or “ballot x”—three different words—so a memorial line of ✞ and a to-do line of ✗ should not be mixed if someone is listening. For ticks, use Check Mark Symbols. For stars or flowers, use those pickers.
