How it's used
Refers specifically to a deliberate mark, sign, or feature added to an object to make it identifiable or unique. It implies an intentional act of marking something to prevent confusion with similar items, rather than just a natural blemish or scratch.

Common mistake
Avoid confusing this with 記號, which is a more general term for any sign, symbol, or mark. 記認 carries a stronger sense of purpose related to ownership or verification.
