The ☒ symbol, officially known in Unicode as the Ballot Box with X, represents a square checkbox filled with a cross mark. It is widely used in digital typography to simulate a checked box on forms, surveys, and digital to-do lists. While an 'X' can sometimes denote a negative response or an error, in the context of this symbol, it simply indicates a selection has been made.
