Usage notes

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.

• 
  Jerusalem cross with a cross potent in the center; note the similarities of this center cross and the glyph at the top of this entry
• 
  Jerusalem cross made of five Greek crosses: one in each corner and a larger one in the center
