Marks made to keep count of something.
Western style tally marks use four vertical lines with a fifth diagonal line drawn through them to mark five. In East Asia (including Japan), the character 正 is used to keep a tally. Each stroke in the character counts as one tally, with a total of five.
For the non-sexual use of tally marks to count kills by a weapon or vehicle, use Kill Markings instead.
