U+00D7 Multiplication Sign
U+00D7 was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block Latin-1 Supplement in the Basic Multilingual Plane.
This character is a Math Symbol and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script. The character is also known as z notation Cartesian product.
The glyph is not a composition. Its width in East Asian texts is determined by its context. It can be displayed wide or narrow. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. If its East Asian Width is “narrow”, U+00D7 forms a word with similar characters, which prevents a line break inside it. Otherwise it allows line breaks around it, except in some numeric contexts. The glyph can be confused with one other glyph.
The CLDR project calls this character “multiplication sign” for use in screen reading software. It assigns these additional labels, e.g. for search in emoji pickers: multiplication, multiply, sign, times.
The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
The multiplication sign (×), also known as the times sign or the dimension sign, is a mathematical symbol used to denote the operation of multiplication, which results in a product.
The symbol is also used in botany, in botanical hybrid names and the heavy goods vehicle industry, to calculate the amount of powered wheels.
The form is properly a four-fold rotationally symmetric saltire. The multiplication sign × is similar to a lowercase X (x) which is not a four-fold rotationally symmetric saltire.
