When to use it

Multiplication (3 × 4) and dimensions (1920 × 1080). Better than the letter x for numbers.

In HTML, CSS and JavaScript

<p>&times;</p>           <!-- or the character itself in a UTF-8 page -->

.note::before { content: "\00D7"; }

const s = "\u00D7";

In a page saved as UTF-8 (the default today) you can paste the character directly; the entity is only needed when it must survive a non-UTF-8 system. Encode or decode whole texts with the HTML Entity Encoder.
