• (Variations of letter X):  Ẍẍ  Ẋẋ  ᶍ  Ｘｘ

The variable name comes from usage in Spain, as up to the 16th century ⟨x⟩ had the sound value/ʃ/ inSpanish, so was used to transcribeArabicش(š) used for the purpose of a variable as an abbreviation ofشَيْء(šayʔ,“thing”).^[1] Its sound value in Spanish has since then become/x/, which explains the decisionmade in the circle of theInternational Phonetic Association to assign this character to the voiceless velar fricative. CompareEnglishhickey(“an object whose name is not recalled; bruise-like mark made during petting by pressing the mouth to the skin”) for the development of the sense of a communicated kiss.

Usingx (in upper- or lower-case, italicized or not, and sometimes rotated 90 degrees) to indicate multiplication was common in 17th-century mathematical texts.^[1] Today, this usage is considered poor typography, but it is nevertheless common because computer keyboards lack a⟨×⟩ key.

Originates in given multiples of the speeds specified in the original CD and DVD standards, then, by reason of the actual unit being without name but just implied by the multiplication sign, reinterpreted as or used as if a unit, considering also that data transfer speed isvariable, so that now, bolstered by stylization of the sign in the marketing of manufacturers, either spelling, with the multiplication sign or with the ex borrowed from the iconic mathematical variable sign, seems correct.
