Sæt bolle om »JA«.

Circle
Explanation:
Circle YES
- i.e. draw a circle round YES

This is simply an expression for a small circle.

For instance, the letter å/Å is known as ´bolle Å´ - that is the name for the little circle that distinguishes it from a/A.

´Bolle Å blev introduceret i retskrivningen i 1948´

-- but that is a bit off topic!
