[Tex/LaTex] Latex command for plus-over-cross

math-operatorssymbols

I want to use the symbol 'plus-over-cross' to refer to point in a Matlab generated figure.
In LaTex terms this will be an overlay of + over \times. Any ideas?

Note that I do not want the asterisk symbol.

This is similar to another recent answer (Latex command for unfilled \bigstar), and uses a \stackinset to achieve the goal. The \scalerel is used to make it work across math style sizes.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{stackengine}
\usepackage{scalerel}
\newcommand\pluscross{\scalerel*{\stackinset{c}{}{c}{}{$+$}{$\times$}}{+}}
\begin{document}
$+\times\pluscross$
$\scriptstyle+\times\pluscross$
$\scriptscriptstyle+\times\pluscross$
\end{document}
