Common Misunderstandings of ✔️
Misinterpretation as a decorative element only
While it can be decorative, its primary use is functional, indicating correctness or completion.
Tip: Use it intentionally to convey confirmation or success, not just as random decoration.
Overuse for general positivity

Tip: For general positivity, consider emojis like 👍 (thumbs up) or ✨ (sparkles).
