Japanese “passing grade” button Emoji

Symbols

A square red icon displaying the kanji '合', which translates to 'to fit' or 'to join'. The character is centered within a bold, red-bordered box.

Usage Context

This symbol is frequently used in Japan to denote a passing grade on an exam or to indicate that a target has been met. Outside of academic results, it acts as a visual shorthand for being in agreement or matching up, often used in professional or social scheduling. It is functionally similar to ✅ when confirming that a specific requirement or standard has been successfully cleared.

History

Included in the Unicode 6.0 release in 2010, this character originates from Japanese school systems and standardized testing culture. It was added to the standard set to allow digital communication of test results using the same signage found on physical grade reports and Japanese notice boards.
