What about simply giving the button a title of "close?" That would be accessible for screen readers and assistive tech right?
If you want to do it using an attribute, aria-label="Close" would be preferable to title, since title is inconsistently announced by screen readers. However, visually hidden text (the technique above) is more likely to be translated.
aria-label="Close"
title
Got it, thank you.
