Fun fact: this lived on in Delphi, TP's successor. The TBitBtn component, a button with an image and one of the oldest Delphi components (probably from Delphi 1?), has a Kind property that auto-sets all sorts of glyphs; Kind := bkOk sets it to a green check.
About a year ago the glyph was updated to look a little more modern :) But it lives on. I love occasionally seeing it on apps in the wild.
