The ASCII art letter X is used in error and negation displays, X/Twitter cross-platform posts, and name displays for names like Xander or Xena. The two diagonal strokes crossing at the center is the defining X structure. Large renders the crossing point and both diagonals clearly. Medium works in banner contexts. X also carries significant cultural associations as both a rejection symbol and as the rebrand name of Twitter, giving it presence in social media posts.
