CB Sharprint is a copy and improved version of the discontinued CB Sharp, with some letters changed into their printed forms for better readability in small text.
This font currently supports many letters in Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Armenian, Hebrew, Arabic, Devanagari, Georgian, Coptic, and Gothic scripts.
This font mainly focuses on letters, so many symbols like ideographs are not supported. However, this font still supports punctuation and symbols that need to match its style.
Some characters may represent other characters, such as ɟ (U+025F Latin Small Letter Dotless J with Stroke, which represents turned f) and ᗺ (U+15FA Canadian Syllabics Carrier Kha, which represents turned B).
Javanese script is still WIP.
More characters may be added in the future.
Notable limitations:
• Diagonal strokes appear thinner or thicker than horizontal and vertical strokes.
• Curly letters, loops, curves, and diagonals may appear off.
• Combining characters may appear in the wrong place.

This font supports the division sign, but doesn't support the multiplication sign due to its 45° diagonal strokes. I don't know what to do with it for now. Its incomplete design is saved as a draft in the Private Use Area (U+F000).
@Cyan Blue - You already have several characters using 45° diagonal strokes with X & x as the basis. I'm certain you could derive a multiplication symbol from those! ;^)
@Goatmeal — I mean, I've been making punctuations and some symbols thinner, and the × sign is a problem as I need somewhat smaller right triangle bricks (smaller than the available ones) for some parts of its sides, which I don't know how to make them.
Is it actually possible to make 1/9-right-triangle bricks, unlike the 1/4-right-triangle ones that are available?
1 by 11, 13, and 15 are also possible, but not 1 by 17, 19, 21, …
The following link will show you all possible allowable composite combinations:

Remember that you can also REMOVE bricks from a composite as well, which further enhances their usefulness… (See the Description and Comments sections of the above link)
I never knew we could do that, as I mostly use mobile and I usually don't use computer that much. Thanks anyway!
I use nudging for the multiplication sign and also asterisk.
