If I recall correctly, it's more than a year ago, that I provided the

I wouldn't call that recent anymore ;)

Search for the hex code d7 and you'll find it.
It seems like the Multiplication sign uses /\ and *X as digraph
while only *X is documented. I don't know, how many more digraphs have
several different chars to enter it (which are not documented).

I found it by using my plugin that I already mentioned before.

Would be good to know, what else is missing, so one could add to the
documentation.
