As a pure CSS solution for the close or  times  symbol you can use the ISO code with the content property  I often use this for  after or  before pseudo selectors   The content code is  00d7   Example  div after    display  inline-block    content    00d7      This will render the  X         You can then style and position the pseudo selector in any way you want  Hope this helps someone

Here s a good drop-in solution for perfectly centered circular X icon buttons  Using only CSS Not relying on a font The thickness and length of the tines of the X can be configured without affecting centering  using width and height in the pseudo element rule  close  before   close  after Screen reader support using aria-label Works on a light or dark background by using transparent grays and currentColor to adapt to the current text color specified on the button or an ancestor    x000D   x000D   close       vertical-align  middle      border  none      color  inherit      border-radius  50       background  transparent      position  relative      width  32px      height  32px      opacity  0 6     close focus   close hover       opacity  1      background  rgba 128  128  128  0 5      close active       background  rgba 128  128  128  0 9        tines of the X     close  before   close  after       content           position  absolute      top  50       left  50       height  20px      width  4px      background-color  currentColor     close  before       transform  translate -50   -50   rotate 45deg      close  after       transform  translate -50   -50   rotate -45deg     x000D   lt div style  padding  15px  gt       lt button class  close  aria-label  Close  gt  lt  button gt   lt  div gt   lt div style  background  black  color  white  padding  15px  gt       lt button class  close  aria-label  Close  gt  lt  button gt   lt  div gt   lt div style  background  orange  color  yellow  padding  15px  gt       lt button class  close  aria-label  Close  gt  lt  button gt   lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D
