What 𝚡 means
It is x in the mathematical monospace alphabet.
The style does not set a fixed value; the formula supplies that. Math styles can distinguish variables that share the same base letter.
Why keep math styles in plain text?
They can preserve distinct mathematical roles.
A 1998 proposal for math alphabets included monospace Latin letters and digits. It aimed to retain meaningful styles in plain text; for multi-letter variables, it preferred formatting because adjacent letters in formulas are normally read as multiplication.
Mathematical or technical; in prose, it looks typewriter-like.
NFKC can erase the mathematical style.
