How to write O, X symbols?

Question

How to write O, X symbols properly?

I have tried \bigcircle, \texttimes commands, but their sizes are so different.

Thank you very much!

Please show an image how the result should look like. – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Jan 19 '24 at 12:42 — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Jan 19 '24 at 12:42

What do you not like about O, X, $O$, and $X$? – Teepeemm Jan 19 '24 at 15:40 — Teepeemm, Jan 19 '24 at 15:40

With \times match perfectly in size \ocircle, not \bigcirc, and you have also \otimes that is almost the same that overlap both symbols (except that the thickness of × is adjusted to be the same that of the circle).

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\usepackage{wasysym}
\begin{document}
\makebox[1.5em]{
\makebox[0pt]{$\times$}%
\makebox[0pt]{$\ocircle$}} 
$\otimes$ 
$\times$ 
$\ocircle$ 
\end{document}
