 Replying to [comment:1 westonruter]:
 > Maybe the multiplication symbol should be replaced with "x"
 automatically in the slugs? We do this similarly for dashes which get
 replaced with hyphens.

 I think this makes sense, @westonruter.

 Tackling it with #64151 could make sense, but that seems like a much
 larger effort that may take a while. Since this is just one character and
 a one line change (excluding tests), the best path forward may be to fix
 this now rather than wait.
