Noun
pl: xes

When used as a mathematical variable, this symbol is typically treated as an abstract entity and does not follow standard noun pluralization in equations, though it can be referred to as an x-value in a coordinate system.

In social correspondence, particularly in British and American English, the symbol represents a kiss. It is frequently paired with 'o' (representing a hug) in the sequence 'xoxo'. This usage is highly informal and restricted to personal messages, where the number of x's often conveys the level of affection.
