Comment (by hugobaeta):

 Replying to [comment:5 melchoyce]:
 > From an English-speaking perspective, I find the Option 3 most clear —
 but this opinion is very much influenced by my understanding of "H" as a
 stand-in for "Highlight."

 I thought about that, but `B` and `I` also suffer from the same issue
 (english language based). But these things are so ubiquitous that the
 meaning is implied there (but maybe not on highlight).

 > I also like Option 1, but it feels a little abstract — I think it could
 work, especially since there is a tooltip, but it kind of reminds me of
 "signature?"

 So I asked my significant other, who's a lawyer, and he said Option 1 is
 the clearest for him of what "highlight" is. Don't know if this counts as
 user testing :D

 For inspiration I ran a [https://thenounproject.com/search/?q=highlight
 search for "Highlight" on the Noun Project] (so you can see where I based
 these ideas off of)
