cross mark

Wrong answer indicator

A cross mark is an X-shaped symbol used to indicate rejection, error, or incorrectness—the opposite of a check mark.

It appears on tests to mark wrong answers, on forms to show invalid entries, and in interfaces to signal deletion or closure: Click the cross mark to dismiss the notification.

Also called an X mark.
