French term or phrase: case crochet
This appears in a Canadian RFP. It includes specs for a printing project and the term appears in the following 3 examples:

Impression variable
- Symboles de jeu
- Code PDF et symboles de la case crochet
- Datamatrix et numéro livret-billet sur le visuel
-------------------------------
4.3. Latex

• Au recto sur les jeux, le PDF417, le numéro de controle et la case crochet;
• Surimpression du latex : quatre (4) couleurs
----------------------------------
4.2.5. AIDE VALIDATION (Case crochet)

That's all I have for context. None of the possible meanings of "crochet" seem to work here, and googling the French term has been fruitless. I'd greatly appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
