. . . ‘x / X’ is still more ambidextrous. ( able to use the right and left hands equally well) As a phonetic symbol, it can stand for z in ‘xenophobia’, ks in ‘excel’, gz in ‘exist’, (or dix in French Xc = ‘dixime). As a semantic symbol, x / X has a wide range of meanings, some are listed

* the concept ‘10’ in English ‘dix’ in French, ‘shi’ in Chinese, etc.

*the 24th item in a sequence of 26 letters derived from the Latin alphabet

* an unknown quantity, as in X2 = 2x = 3, and ‘Mr. X’

* ‘times’, ie., multiplied by, as in 3 x 5 = 15

* a negative command, e.g., a sign depicting a camera crossed out, meaning ‘no photography’

* a wrong answer, as in examination paper

* pornographic, as in X-rated movies

* the location of an object, e.g., a buried treasure

* a signature of an illiterate

* a vote cast on a voting paper

* a kiss
