In some countries (e.g., Finland, Norway, Sweden, Puerto Rico, and Japan), the tick can be used as an error mark and indicates "no" rather than "yes".
For example, it is common in Swedish schools for a ✓ to indicate that an answer is incorrect (while 'R', from the Swedish rätt i.e. "right", is used to indicate that an answer is correct). This often causes confusion as to whether something that has been ticked is correct or incorrect, especially when reading English media.
In Finnish, ✓ stands for väärin i.e. "wrong". (The opposite, "right", is marked with
, a slanted vertical line emphasized with two dots).muhehehe
