A check mark, checkmark or tick is a mark ((unicode:✓), (unicode:✔), etc.) used to indicate the concept "yes" (e.g. "yes; this has been verified", "yes; that is the correct answer", "yes; this has been completed", or "yes; this (or option ) applies to me"). The x mark is also sometimes used for this use (most notably on election ballot papers), but otherwise usually indicates "no", incorrectness, or failure. As a verb, to check (off) or tick (off), means to add such a mark. Printed forms, printed documents, and computer software (see Checkbox), commonly include squares in which to place check marks. ==International differences== The check mark is a predominant affirmative symbol of convenience in the English-speaking world because of its instant and facile composition. In other countries, however, the mark is more complicated. It is common in Swedish schools for a (unicode:✓) to indicate that an answer is incorrect, while "R", from the Swedish ''rätt'', i.e., "correct", is used to indicate that an answer is correct. In Finnish, (unicode:✓) stands for ''väärin'', i.e., "wrong", due to its similarity to a slanted v. The opposite, "right", is marked with , a slanted vertical line emphasized with two dots. In Korea and Japan, the O mark is used instead of the check mark. In Japan the check mark is commonly used instead of an X for wrong. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Check mark」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
