Usage Notes

标示 is more formal and specific than just 标记 (biāojì), which can mean to mark or tag in a broader sense. 标示 often implies a visible or official sign or indication. It is frequently used in public signage, maps, and instructions.

Avoid confusing 标示 with 标志 (biāozhì), which means 'symbol' or 'emblem' and is more abstract. 标示 focuses on the act of marking or showing something clearly.
