Do we say dismark or unmark?

The correct term is unmark.

"Dismark" is not a standard English word.

Here's why:

* Un- is a common prefix in English that means "the opposite of." So, "unmark" means "to remove a mark."

* Dis- can also indicate an opposite, but it's often used for actions that imply separating, removing, or undoing. While "dis-" might seem like it could fit, it doesn't have the same specific meaning as "un-" in this context.

Examples:

* "Please unmark the items you don't want."

* "The teacher unmarked the student's paper after realizing it was graded incorrectly."
