A flourish of approval or krul ("curl") is a mostly Dutch symbol used for grading schoolwork or to show that one has seen and agreed with a paragraph. The krul first appeared in the early 19th century together with the rising bureaucracy in the Netherlands. The symbol is rarely used outside of the Netherlands apart from the Dutch Caribbean islands and former Dutch colonies like Indonesia, South Africa, Suriname and Flanders in Belgium.
