The symbol is primarily associated with the [[Heartless]], specifically Emblem Heartless. The standard Heartless symbol is displayed on every single Emblem Heartless, as well as [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]]'s chest and certain weapons related to Heartless, such as the [[Akashic Record]] and [[Precious Mushroom]]. In the [[End of the World]], the doorway leading to the Final Rest area is shaped like the Heartless emblem. The "empty" Heartless emblem has been associated with [[Riku]] in the past; when possessed by Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, Riku wore the symbol on his chest, and it is the Keychain token of his Keyblade, [[Way to the Dawn]]. The Keychain token of the [[X-Blade]] is a black and red heart resembling the Heartless emblem, but with two [[Kingdom Keys]] crossed over it in place of the normal red design. | The symbol is primarily associated with the [[Heartless]], specifically Emblem Heartless.

The Heartless emblem is comprised of a heart with a fleur-de-lis at its base. It is typically black with a red outline and spiked "x" crossing through the heart in the symbol, which symbolizes the fact that Heartless act without emotions, hence their name. A common variation of the Heartless emblem is a completely black silhouette, lacking the cross over the heart. A third variation is simply a heart featuring the color scheme of the standard Heartless symbol, a black body and red outline, but also lacks the cross. | The Heartless emblem is comprised of a heart with a fleur-de-lis at its base.

Excluding the many different forms that Keyblades take, the common key symbol resembles simplified Kingdom Key. The Kingdom Key, in turn, is modeled after a skeleton key, a type of key that was designed to open any lock. | Excluding the many different forms that Keyblades take, the common key symbol resembles simplified Kingdom Key.
