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.
