Meaning
A thick red circle, empty in the middle. In Japan, a circle means correct — the opposite of the Western tick-and-cross convention, where a circle means nothing much at all. It is used to mark something as right, approved or good. This is a genuine cultural inversion: what Westerners read as a vague ring, Japanese readers read as a clear "yes."
