O is known as an ok, X is like NO
But as said in that thingy I posted...
The colors are backwards... blue being yes is used for X and red being no is used on O
So people over here refer to the colors rather than the shapes... it would seem. :/

X is usually seen as "wrong" or incorrect in Japan I think (eg, get a question wrong).
Whereas O is like a tick over there I think.
Both Zinga and Aspheric are on the right track. Ive heard/read the same thing.
Square for documentation? Well it makes sense because some RPGs assign menu to square. But every other genre?
^ I don't think you're going to have a button to represent every single function. Although symbolising documentation, square itself can be quite abstract in meaning.

I don't think it's just japan. I thought it was just a general thing.
Triangle is usually associated with a banana.
