Yea, when I taught English in Japan I had a distraught parent come to me because she thought her child had got almost every question wrong because I used a tick (Checkmark)

Although to be fair, the tick (checkmark) that westerners use is not really the same as what Japanese to use to mark things as incorrect since they more closely resemble V than a tick.
