In Chinese, '标记' is used to denote a symbol, sign, notation, or indicator that has been put in place to identify, differentiate, represent or characterize something or someone. It can be used in the context of 'making a mark' on a document, map, chart or any other surface. It can also refer to a distinct impression or characteristic feature. Moreover, it can signify tagging or attributing in a sense of labelling or branding.
