Hollow red circle Emoji

Symbols

A thick, bold red ring with a hollow center. It is designed to stand out against text and serves as a clear visual indicator for marking items or identifying specific points of interest.

Usage Context

In many Asian markets, this mark signifies a correct answer or 'true,' functioning as the direct opposite of the cross mark ❌. It is widely used in checklists, grading systems, or to draw attention to a specific part of a message. It is frequently grouped with the heavy check mark ✔️ to denote approval.

History

This symbol originated from traditional Japanese school grading practices, where teachers would circle correct answers in red ink. It was codified into the Unicode standard in 2010 to bring this common classroom shorthand into digital messaging platforms.
