Yet another pure CSS solution  i e  without the use of images  characters or additional fonts   based on  Bansoa is the answer s answer    I ve simplified it and added a bit of Flexbox magic to make it responsive   Cross in this example automatically scales to any square container  and to change the thickness of its lines one have just to tune height  4px   to make a cross truly responsive  you may want to set the height in percents or other relative units     x000D   x000D  div   x000D      position  relative  x000D      height  150px     this can be anything    x000D      width  150px         but maintain 1 1 aspect ratio    x000D      display  flex  x000D      flex-direction  column  x000D      justify-content  center  x000D      border  1px solid pink     not required  added for better visibility    x000D    x000D   x000D  div  before  x000D  div  after   x000D      position  absolute  x000D      content      x000D      width  100   x000D      height  4px     cross thickness    x000D      background-color  black  x000D    x000D   x000D  div  before   x000D      transform  rotate 45deg   x000D    x000D   x000D  div  after   x000D      transform  rotate -45deg   x000D    x000D   lt div gt  lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

You want an entity known as a cross mark   http   www fileformat info info unicode char 274c index htm  The code for it is  amp  10060  and it displays like   10060   If you want a perfectly centered cross mark  like this     try the following CSS   div       height  100px      width  100px      background-color   FA6900      border-radius  5px      position  relative     div after       position  absolute      top  0      bottom  0      left  0      right  0      content    274c      use the hex value here           font-size  50px       color   FFF      line-height  100px      text-align  center      See Demo Fiddle  Cross-Browser Issue  The cross-mark entity does not display with Safari or Chrome   However  the same entity displays well in Firefox  IE and Opera   It is safe to use the smaller but similarly shaped multiplication sign entity   amp  xd7  which displays as   xd7

You could just put the letter X in the HTML inside the div and then style it with css   See JSFiddle  http   jsfiddle net uSwbN   HTML    lt div id  orangeBox  gt     lt span id  x  gt X lt  span gt   lt  div gt    CSS    orangeBox     background   f90    color   fff    font-family   Helvetica    Arial   sans-serif    font-size  2em    font-weight  bold    text-align  center    width  40px    height  40px    border-radius  5px
