Hollow Red Circle ⭕
Copy & Meaning

A hollow red circle — representing the Japanese grading symbol ○ (maru) that marks correct answers and approval, one of Japan's most fundamental educational evaluation symbols. In Japanese schools and business, ○ means 'correct,' 'approved,' or 'yes,' while × means 'incorrect' or 'no.' This binary evaluation system is deeply embedded in Japanese education, standardized testing, and decision-making culture.

The red circle is also used as a large, clear marking symbol in various contexts. Used for correct answer marking in Japanese educational contexts, approval and selection indicators, the Japanese cultural context of maru/batsu (○/×) evaluation, and any situation where a simple, clear affirmative selection signal is needed.
