Is it possible to spoof the check mark ✓ by changing the publisher's display name?

[Lin-Buo-Ren]

Hello all, just looking at the review-tools snap’s listing:

$ snap info review-tools
name:      review-tools
summary:   Review tools for snappy
publisher: Canonical✓

And I am wondering whether it would be possible for an evil actor to just append a check mark✓ to their display name to impersonate as a verified/trusted publisher?

e.g. By adding to the Full name field here:

Not gonna try it myself as it’s definitely going to be flagged as one of the malicious behaviors, but still, hopefully it is already dealt with by the store.
