Usage notes

[edit]

The name of this Unicode character is a misnomer. The glyph in the official Unicode character sheet is not a Jerusalem cross but a cross potent, having four arms of equal length ending in bars, each like a rotated capital letter T.

The Jerusalem cross is a more complex symbol consisting of either a Greek cross or a cross potent surrounded by four small Greek crosses, one at each corner.
