It is worth noting that in $\LaTeX$ the name for the $\times$ symbol is \times.

| Dec 30, 2017 at 19:58 | comment | added | Adam | I tend to avoid $\times$ as it looks too much like $x$; so I often just use $*$ if I need a multiplication symbol. A worthwhile reference for the history of math symbols: jeff560.tripod.com/mathsym.html | |
