Todo App Tutorial - Doesn't understand use of ampersand

help

Hi guys,

little question from a noob.

In the todo app totorial in section 5. Update and remove

we create a button to delete a task and I am wondering about the button declaration

<button className="delete" onClick={this.deleteThisTask.bind(this)}>
          &times;
</button>

What does the &times; do.
Is it react specific or meteor?
Don’t really know what keywords to search for via google to figure out by myself.

Thanks for your help.

That’s nothing to do with Meteor. It’s an HTML construct: &times; = ×
