A quincunx ( KWIN-kunks) is a geometric pattern consisting of five points arranged in a cross, with four of them forming a square or rectangle and a fifth at its center. The same pattern has other names, including "in saltire" or "in cross" in heraldry (depending on the orientation of the outer square), the (two-dimensional) five-point stencil in numerical analysis, and the five dots tattoo.
