CategoryX marks
DescriptionThe Unicode character ⨯, or U+2A2F, is known as the "Vector Or Cross Product". It falls under the "Supplemental Mathematical Operators" block and the "Math Symbol" category in the Unicode standard. The character is used to represent the cross product operation in vector algebra, which is an operation that takes two vectors and produces another vector that is orthogonal (or perpendicular) to the two input vectors. The magnitude (or length) of the resulting vector is equal to the area of the parallelogram formed by the two input vectors, and the direction of the vector is given by the right-hand rule. It's an important operation in mathematics, physics, and engineering fields, often used in contexts involving 3-dimensional space.
