Info button on photos

What’s the checkmark inside the “cloud” picture when you click on info on a photo? Some pics have a checkmark and some have a checkmark with a line across it. I assume it means the one with the checkmark is added to the cloud? And vice versa. ?

Removing Keywords from List in Apple Photos Is it possible to remove keywords from the Apple Photos keyword list? For example, I had a typo when I entered a keyword on a photo, "Lake Superir". I corrected the mistake, first deleting the bad keyword, and inputing the correct one, "Lake Superior". However, every time I have a picture I want to tag "Lake Superior", as I am typing the word, both the correct and incorrect keyword will appear in the list (until, of course, I get to the "o" in the correct keyword). I've searched for the incorrect keyword, however, no photos appear when I input the entire incorrect keyword in the search window. Is there a way to get rid of these misspelled or otherwise unwanted keyword? Mike

HEIC Application is Suddenly Required to view iCloud downloaded photos Why do my photo downloads from iCloud suddenly require a new viewing extension of "HEIC". When the downloaded photo icon is displayed it does not show a Thumbnail image. Furthermore, when you attempt to view the photo, the attached screen capture shown, requires the User to download this HEIC app with a corresponding $0.99 charge to purchase the extension app? Why is this happening and how do I get rid of it?

I cannot find a list of cloud badges for Photos, but in other applications the symbols are meaning this: Identify cloud status icons in your music library on your Mac or PC – Apple Support (UK)

Get file, folder, and disk information on Mac - Apple Support

The crossed out cloud means "ineligible", the file is in format that cannot be uploaded to iCloud.
The checked cloud means the syncing with iCloud has finished.
