blue check mark
Identity confirmation symbol
A blue check mark is a verification symbol on social media platforms, originally indicating that an account's identity has been confirmed as authentic—typically for public figures, celebrities, or notable organizations.
The symbol became associated with credibility and status: She has a blue check mark, so it's really her.
On some platforms, blue check marks are now available to paying subscribers regardless of notability, which has diluted their meaning as markers of authenticity.
