Kevin was typing passwords in and couldn't determine where a particular X came from. It looked different than the other X in the same password. This prompted the following research:

Arial Unicode MS Anonymous
Latin Capital Letter X X X
Latin Small Letter x x x
Greek Capital Letter Chi Χ Χ
Greek Small Letter Chi χ χ
Cyrillic Capital Letter Ha Х Х
Cyrillic Small Letter Ha х х
Tibetan Sign Rdel Nag Gcig
Roman Numeral Ten
Small Roman Numeral Ten
Hangzhou Numeral Four
Fullwidth Latin Capital Letter X
Fullwidth Latin Small Letter x
Box Drawings Light Diagonal Cross
Saltire
Multiplication X

In the end the culprit was "Multiplication X", but I have no idea how anyone typed that in...
