All about check marks, cross (X) marks and ballot boxes (check boxes)

Check Marks: Check marks, also known as tick marks or check symbols, are graphical symbols typically represented by a small mark (√) placed next to an item to indicate completion, approval, or verification. Check marks are commonly used to indicate that a task or item on a list has been completed or that an option has been selected.

Tick Marks: Tick marks are another term used interchangeably with check marks. They refer to the same graphical symbol (√) used to indicate completion or verification.

Cross Marks: Cross marks, also known as X marks or cross symbols (✗), are graphical symbols used to indicate a negative or incorrect status. Cross marks are commonly used to mark items as wrong, to indicate a negative response, or to show that an option has not been selected.

Check Boxes: Check boxes are interactive graphical elements that allow users to select or deselect options. They are usually represented by small empty squares that can be filled with a check mark or tick mark when selected. Check boxes are commonly used in forms, questionnaires, surveys, and software interfaces to provide users with a way to choose one or more options from a list.
