Unicode Character for "X" Cancel/Close

Unicode character for X cancel / close?

✖ works really well. The HTML code is ✖.

An alternative is ✕: ✕

What is the unicode character for the close symbol used by Twitter bootstrap?

It uses ×.

You can use the following to obtain the desired information about any character:

$ perl -Mcharnames=:full -CA -e'
   printf("U+%04X %s\n", $_, charnames::viacode($_))
      for unpack "W*", $ARGV[0];
' ×
U+00D7 MULTIPLICATION SIGN

If you're going to use it in HTML, you can encode it as follows:

$ perl -MHTML::Entities -CA -e'
   CORE::say encode_entities($ARGV[0]);
' ×
×

Notes:

• The above programs expect the argument to be encoded using UTF-8.
• The line breaks can be removed to make true one-liners.

As a minor aside / workaround for a bit of fun:

DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/8rzgv/

<span class="share"><</span>

.share {
    font-weight: bold;
    position: relative;
}
.share:before {
    content: ".";
    font-size: 2.2em;
    position: absolute;
    bottom: -2.5px;
    left: -4px;
}
.share:after {
    content: ":";
    font-size: 2em;
    position: absolute;
    bottom: -6px;
    right: -7px;
}

Text changes height after adding unicode character

Just add a line-height style to your element:

var text = document.getElementById("text");

var chars = "A➜";

var i = 0;

function update() {

  i=1-i;

  text.innerText = "char: " + chars[i];

  setTimeout(update, 500);

}

update();

div {

  font-family: sans-serif;

  background-color: lightgrey;

  line-height: 1em;

}

<div id="text" />

Close button not displaying on Bootstrap dismissible alert but functions properly

The CSS that adds the cancel/close character as an SVG icon in the Bootstrap alert docs doesn't seem to be present in the version you're using.

You could add the Unicode character manually. Note that I also added the btn class, which is required for basic Bootstrap button styles.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://bootswatch.com/4/pulse/bootstrap.min.css">

<div class="alert alert-warning alert-dismissible fade show" role="alert">
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-close" data-dismiss="alert" 
    aria-label="Close">✕</button>
</div>

Specific unicode character not displayed properly in python image

Unicode 'u2BEA' defined as "STAR WITH LEFT HALF BLACK", but not defined in any font file on my platform.

Maybe you can download and use following font files,

• BabelStone Han
  https://www.babelstone.co.uk/Fonts/Download/BabelStoneHan.ttf
• Symbola
  https://dn-works.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/UFAS-Fonts/Symbola.zip
• Unifont
  https://unifoundry.com/pub/unifont/unifont-13.0.06/font-builds/unifont-13.0.06.ttf

Note: Last one with large font than '\u2605' and '\u2606'.

What unicode it is to make such an effect? =͟͟͞͞s=͟͟͞͞s=͟͟͞͞s=͟͟͞͞s=͟͟͞͞s=͟͟͞͞s=͟͟͞͞s=͟͟͞͞s

They are called combining characters. The Wikipedia page is helpful.

The overline is called COMBINING DOUBLE MACRON

The underline is called COMBINING DOUBLE MACRON BELOW.
