What is cancle symbol?

The cancel symbol, also known as the cancellation mark or strike-through, is a visual indication used to denote the deletion or rejection of a piece of information. The symbol can be created by placing a diagonal line (\ or /) through the text or by drawing a horizontal line and two diagonal lines in a shape that resembles an "X". The cancel symbol is commonly used in documents, such as contracts and legal papers, to indicate that a section or statement is no longer valid or has been replaced by new information. It is also used in editing and proofreading to mark words, sentences, or paragraphs that need to be removed or revised. In addition to printed materials, the cancel symbol is widely used in digital media, such as email and social media, as a way to indicate that a message has been retracted or disavowed.
