@Huang Usually vote-up and vote-down should be a pair. What would you use for vote-up if you use 叉 for vote-down? Maybe 勾? :)

sorry,I mean to use 叉 for "vote to close", so that we use a single character for every choice. I think this looks prettier.

We also use 推 for vote-up and 噓 for vote-down in Taiwan, due to the largest BBS site (PTT) we have.
