Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the letter X instead of ✗ for negative indicators
Fix: Use ✗ (✗) for ballot X symbols alongside ✓ for check marks. The letter X is too wide and inconsistent for pairing with check marks.
Mistake: Confusing ✗ (ballot X) with ✘ (heavy ballot X)
Fix: The regular ballot X ✗ is thinner. The heavy ballot X ✘ is bolder. Use the weight that matches your check mark style.
