{{cleanup|KH3 gummi stickers give official names to many of these; add or identify room transitions for KH3; Add a section and image(s) for Xion's mask/mirrored crown symbol}}
The ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|series}}'' series uses an extensive array of recurring symbols, some original and some derived from real-world sources, with deep significance to its story and characters. This page compiles the most important of these symbols and details their use in the series.

==Main symbols==
===Heart===
[[File:Symbol - Heart1.png|64px]]
[[File:Symbol - Heart2.png|64px]]
[[File:Symbol - Heart3.png|64px]]
[[File:Symbol - Heart4.png|x64px]]
[[File:Symbol - Heart Mobile.png|64px]]
[[File:Station Riku KHIIIRM.png|64px]]<br>
<!--KH3 calls this "Kingdom Hearts"-->
Hearts are some of the most recognizable and prominent symbols associated with the series; one type of heart symbol is featured on the series logo and, as a result, on the majority of real-world ''Kingdom Hearts'' merchandise. The most recognizable heart symbol is depicted as the outline of a heart with tips that curl inward at its top. More simplified solid heart designs also appear in the series, although they are featured less prominently.

The symbol appears on the back of every {{c|Card|com}}; on [[Limit Form]]'s outfit in [[Halloween Town]]; in several worlds, such as [[Hollow Bastion]], [[The World That Never Was]], [[Traverse Town]], and [[Radiant Garden]]; on [[Riku]]'s [[Dive to the Heart]] station in ''[[Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind]]''; and on several [[Keyblades]] and miscellaneous weapons. Simplified heart symbols appear less frequently, but are featured in [[Trinity Marks]], several Keyblades, [[Wonderland]] – typically with the [[Queen of Hearts]] – and the heart-shaped moon that is [[Kingdom Hearts]]. A few Pureblood Heartless have heart-shaped holes in their chests.<!--Auto-Life Gummi icon--> 

The transition symbols for [[Traverse Town]]{{KHc}}{{KHMoM}}, [[Hollow Bastion]]{{KHc}}, [[Radiant Garden]]{{KHBbS}}{{KHMoM}}, and [[The World That Never Was]]{{KHII}}{{KHD}}{{KH3D}}{{KHMoM}} are hearts.

===Heartless===
[[File:Heartless Emblem.png|x64px]]
[[File:Symbol Character - Riku.png|64px]]
[[File:Χ-blade Keychain KHBBS.png|60px]]
[[File:Way to the Dawn Keychain KHII.png|64px]]
[[File:Way to the Dawn Keychain KH3D.png|64px]]
[[File:Illusory Crystal KHIII.png|64px]]
[[File:Station Olympus KHIII.png|64px]]
[[File:Riku Chess Piece (Art) KHIII.png|32px]]<br>

The Heartless symbol is used, as its name suggests, to represent the [[Heartless]], specifically Emblem Heartless. The standard Heartless emblem 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 Heartless emblem without the barbed "X" is commonly associated with Riku. When using [[Dark Mode]], Riku wears the symbol on his chest, and the aforementioned lack of a thorny cross symbolizes the fact he hasn't completely lost his heart to the darkness.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Ultimania]]''''', '''Tetsuya Nomura:''' "... and how the Heartless emblem on [Riku's] chest is missing the thorny cross because Riku's heart has not yet completely fallen to darkness." [https://www.khinsider.com/news/A-Look-Back-KINGDOM-HEARTS-Ultimania-Gallery-Comments-Part-1-15519 Translation via goldpanner].</ref> In ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', the Station of Awakening for the facsimile of [[Olympus]] in [[The Final World]] bears the same symbol around the circumference of its design, as it is where Sora finds Riku's heart and rescues it from the [[Lich]].  Riku's [[Alba & Ater]] game piece features this symbol on the top as well. It is also the [[Keychain]] token of his main Keyblade, [[Way to the Dawn]]. In its appearances in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'' and onwards, the token's design integrates elements of the recurring heart symbol, curling the tips of the Heartless emblem's red outline inward at the top. The Keychain token of the [[χ-blade]] is a black and red heart resembling the Heartless emblem, but with two [[Kingdom Key]]s crossed over it in place of the normal red design. In the [[World of Chaos]] fight, the arena is shaped like a blue Heartless insignia.

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 barbed "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.

===Bug Blox===
[[File:Bug Blox Symbol.png|x64px]]<br>
The [[Bug Blox]] have symbols on each side of their bodies. They resemble circles connected by some lines, representing the corrupted nature of the digital bugs.

Similar markings appear on other Heartless associated with data, namely [[Flappy Bug]]s and the [[Darkubes]].

===Nobody===
[[File:Nobody.png|x64px]]
[[File:Symbol - Nobody Variation.png|64px]]
[[File:Symbol Character - Roxas.png|64px]]
[[File:Two Become One Keychain KHIIFM.png|64px]]
[[File:Icon Mission 2.png|64px]]
[[File:Evanescent Crystal KHIII.png|64px]]
[[File:Organization emblem KHD.png|64px]]
[[File:Ordeal Badge KHD.png|64px]]
[[File:Unity Badge KHD.png|64px]]
[[File:Challenge Sigil KHD.png|64px]]
[[File:Icon Team Days KHMOM.png|64px]]<br>

The {{nihongo|[[Nobody]] symbol|ノーバディのマーク}} is primarily associated with [[Organization XIII]] and the Nobodies it commands, and many of the members' weapons incorporate the symbol into their design. Every single lesser Nobody is emblazoned with the Nobody symbol, and a few are even shaped like it. The [[Proof of Nonexistence]], [[Challenge Sigil]], [[Unity Badge]], and [[Ordeal Badge]] all feature the symbol. Certain accessories with connections to Organization XIII, such as the [[Full Bloom]] and [[Shadow Archive]], also use the symbol. The symbol is featured countless times in the architecture and decorations of the [[Castle That Never Was]] and other areas related to the Organization. [[Two Become One]] is the only Keyblade to sport the full Nobody emblem in its design. A variant of the Nobody emblem based on the original's top half appears on several [[Nobody#Gummi Nobodies|Gummi Nobodies]].

The Nobody emblem resembles an upside-down Heartless emblem in shape, but with several circular notches taken out of its edges. The symbol's base is shaped like an upside-down heart, while its top is a thin, spiked cross. Spikes and sharp edges often evoke the Nobody emblem without the full symbol being displayed. The symbol is usually depicted as white or silver, like most Nobodies. Though it was stated in the ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania]]'' that [[Xemnas]] created the Nobody emblem based on [[Terra]]'s fragmented memories, thus its resemblance to [[Symbols in the Kingdom Hearts series#Eraqus|Terra's Mark]]<ref name="Terra">[[Kingdom Hearts Ultimania|'''''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' Ultimania''']], '''Interviewer:''' "Where did the Organization's coat and mark come from?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura:''' "One year after ''Birth by Sleep'', Xehanort, as well as five other apprentices toss aside their hearts. Then the Nobody Xemnas was born, and the Organization which he creates take a lot of things from his memories, as a human. But as Xemnas had two people who he was, Terra and Master Xehanort, he takes from both of their memories. [...] The Nobody mark used by the Organization is a similar shape to the mark Terra used." [https://www.khinsider.com/news/BBS-Ultimania-20-Mysteries-Solved-2546 Translation via Lissar].</ref>, the symbol can be seen incorporated in Xehanort's armor in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Dark Road]]'', decades before the birth of Xemnas.

There is a simplified version of the Nobody symbol that only features the upper spiked cross section. This varation is primarily associated with Roxas: his Twilight Town outfit uses this symbol as a zipper pull, and it is found on the Keychain token of the [[Two Become One]] Keyblade. Roxas's Alba & Ater game piece also features this symbol on the top. Similar symbols are often used to evoke the Nobody sigil, such as in [[Saïx]]'s [[Lunatic]] Claymore and [[Larxene]]'s [[Foudre]] Knives.

===Unversed===
[[File:Unversedlogo.png|x64px]]
[[File:Symbol - Unversed.png|x64px]]
[[File:Sinister Crystal KHIII.png|64px]]<br>

The [[Unversed]] emblem is emblazoned at least once on every single Unversed, with the exception of the [[Flood]]. After [[Vanitas]] forcibly merges with [[Ventus]], Ventus's [[Dive to the Heart]] Station changes appearance, incorporating Unversed emblems into Vanitas's half of the pillar. The [[black coat]] bears a silver Unversed symbol on its zipper.<!--

https://www.reddit.com/r/KingdomHearts/comments/5rdq0d/khddd_media_unversed_symbol_can_be_seen_on_a/

https://www.reddit.com/r/KingdomHearts/comments/5re0tu/khddd_adding_on_to_the_other_post_unversed/?st=iymuxg6u&sh=6e6ce54c

https://www.reddit.com/r/KingdomHearts/comments/5rg7bb/khddd_unversed_symbol_in_the_3ds_version_as_well/
-->

The Unversed emblem is designed to resemble a heart expressing emotion. It uses sharp corners, deep curves, and straight edges to form a heart shape in its center. Certain parts of the Unversed symbol's design resemble some Unversed's eyes. The symbol is nearly always black.

===Dream Eater===
[[File:Symbol - Dream Eater (Spirit).png|x64px]]
[[File:Symbol - Dream Eater (Nightmare).png|x64px]]
[[File:Sweet Dreams Keychain KH3D.png|x64px]]
[[File:Knockout Punch Keychain KH3D.png|x64px]]
[[File:Stats Ability Icon KH3D.png|x64px]]
[[File:Icon Team 3D KHMOM.png|x64px]]<br>

The [[Dream Eater]] emblems appear on almost every Dream Eater.<!--Pets do not have it.-->

The Dream Eater symbols are designed in the form of hearts with certain aspects that display whether they are Spirit or Nightmare. The Spirit variant is most of the time a faded pale peach fading to a deep hot pink with a dark purple border, the tail at the bottom of the heart-shaped is bowl-shaped. Its wings are shaped more like swirls as it is given a simplistic innocent look, compared to the Nightmare version. The Nightmare variant is always colored a deep navy fading into a bright neon purple with a thick white border, the tail at the bottom of the heart-shaped symbol is cone-shaped. Its wings are shaped like bat wings with small spikes in the center and growing larger near the sides. They bear a very vague resemblance to the Heartless symbol, specifically the Nightmare version.

Due to his nature within [[Sora]]'s dreams as a Dream Eater, Riku has a black-colored version of the Spirit emblem on the back of his vest during most of ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''.

===Eraqus===
[[File:Symbol - Keyblade Master.png|64px]]
[[File:Keyblade Master Emblem.png|x64px]]
[[File:Symbol - Keyblade Master2.png|x64px]]
[[File:Master's Defender Keychain KHBBSFM.png|x64px]]
[[File:Icon Team BBS KHMOM.png|x64px]]<br>
This symbol, referred to as {{nihongo|"'''Terra's Mark'''"|テラたちのマーク|Tera-tachi no Māku|lit. "The Mark of Terra and his friends"}} in the ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania]]'', is an emblem of Keyblade Wielders. The earliest known appearance of this symbol is the Keychain token on [[Brain]]'s [[Master's Defender]] Keyblade.

Keyblade Wielders often wear this symbol as part of their outfit. [[Master Odin]] and his pupils – [[Heimdall]], [[Helgi]], [[Hoder]], [[Sigrun]], [[Vala]], [[Vali]], [[Vidar]], [[Xehanort]], [[Eraqus]], [[Hermod]], [[Bragi]], [[Urd]], [[Vor]], and [[Baldr]] – all wear the emblem on their clothes and [[Keyblade Armor]]. Many years later, Eraqus's own pupils [[Terra]], [[Ventus]], and [[Aqua]] wear the mark as well.
 
This symbol is incorporated into the architecture of [[Scala ad Caelum]]. It also appears on the walls of the [[Chamber of Waking]]. Aqua's [[Wayfinder]]s have the symbol in their centers, and the emblem is featured on several Dive to the Heart Stations, including two of Ventus's Stations and the character selection screen of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''. In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', a Gummi Ship Sticker resembling this mark is titled [[Eraqus/S]].

The transition symbol for [[Land of Departure]]{{KHBbS}}{{KHMoM}} is this emblem.

This symbol resembles the Heartless and Nobody symbols in shape; it is a heart with a sharp cross at its base. The symbol is very angular and squared, and the points of its cross are much more compact and close together than those of the Nobody symbol. The symbol appears in several different colors, such as gold and silver.

===Crown===
[[File:Symbol - Crown.png|64px]]
[[File:Oblivion Keychain KHIII.png|64px]]
[[File:Icon Crown.png|x64px]]

[[File:Sora Chess Piece (Art) KHIII.png|32px]]<br>
Crowns are another heavily featured symbol of the series and are part of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' logo along with the curled heart symbol. Sora notably wears a silver crown necklace in most of his forms and can, in fact, wear a [[crown]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]''. [[Puzzle]] pieces, [[Crown Sticker]]s and [[Mission Crowns]] are represented by golden crowns. Limit Form and, in Halloween Town, [[Final Form]], is represented by crowns. The tops of the cards used in [[Castle Oblivion]] are shaped like the standard crown, and are featured on the front of some cards. The [[Crown-G]], the Keychain token of the [[Oblivion]], accessories such as the [[Draw Ring]], the [[Save the King]] shield, and the [[Ultima Weapon]] all incorporate crowns into their designs. Both the [[Royal Radiance]] and the [[Unbound]] have a gold crown with a gold circle on each of its points as the tokens of their Keychains. Every one of Sora's Dive to the Heart Stations feature crowns. A large, glowing crown appears underneath Sora when he unlocks a World [[Gate]]. Sora's [[Alba & Ater]] game piece features a crown on the top.

The transition symbol for [[Hollow Bastion]]/[[Radiant Garden]]{{KHII}}{{KHMoM}} is a crown.

The most widely used crown symbol in the series is a flat, three-pronged crown that appears in a wide variety of colors, most commonly gold and silver. The shape of the crowns prongs creates a negative space silhouette of the Kingdom Key's teeth. Strategy guides for the series occasionally use a yellow symbol that could be a crown viewed from above. This symbol is a ring with spikes along its outer edge and an "X" in its center, and is used to represent characters and enemies that cannot be classified as Heartless, Nobodies, Unversed or Dream Eaters.

In ''{{ssb|Super Smash Bros. Ultimate}}'', the crown symbol is used to represent the ''{{ssb|Kingdom Hearts (universe)|Kingdom Hearts}}'' series.

===Keyhole===
[[File:Symbol - Keyhole.png|64px]]
[[File:Symbol - Keyhole2.png|64px]]
[[File:Symbol - Keyhole3.png|64px]]
[[File:Symbol - Gate Keyhole.png|64px]]<br>

Every world has a [[Keyhole]] that leads to its heart and can be locked by the Keyblade. Locking all of the Keyholes is Sora's primary objective in the original ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]''. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', Sora seeks out and unlocks [[Gate]]s, which are represented by large, glowing keyholes. The complete χ-blade is capable of summoning countless keyhole-shaped gates to anywhere in the realms. When the incomplete χ-blade is destroyed, it releases beams of energy which radiate keyhole-shaped symbols.

The transition symbol for [[Twilight Town]]{{KHII}}{{KHD}}{{KHMoM}}, [[Destiny Islands]]{{KHc}}{{KHMoM}}, and [[System Sector]]{{KHMoM}} is a keyhole.

The Keyhole symbol is normally depicted as a simple silhouette of an old-fashioned keyhole, one that a [[Kingdom Key|skeleton key]] could unlock.

===Key===
[[File:Symbol - Keyblade1.png|64px]]
[[File:Symbol - Keyblade2.png|64px]]
[[File:Symbol - Keyblade3.png|x64px]]
[[File:Icon Attack KH3D.png|x64px]]<br>

Keys are recurring symbols in the series, mainly through the use of the Keyblade by the main characters. The simplified key symbol is used to represent physical attacks with the Keyblade in the [[Command Menu]] and [[Command Deck]] and similar menus.

The transition symbol for the [[Keyblade Graveyard]]{{KHBbS}}{{KHIII}}{{KHMoM}} is a Keyblade.

Excluding the many different forms that Keyblades take, the common key symbol resembles a 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.

===Chi and the Recusant's Sigil===
[[File:Symbol - Chi.png|64px]]
[[File:Symbol - Recusant's Sigil.png|64px]]
[[File:Symbol - Chi (2).png|64px]]<br>
{{Q|As your flesh bears the sigil, so your name shall be known as that...of a recusant.|Xemnas to Sora, at the beginning of their battle.}}
Chi is the twenty-second letter in the Greek alphabet, from which the Latin letter "X" is derived. Master [[Xehanort]] can form a glowing, stylized version of the letter in his hand. According to him, χ is "a most ancient letter" that represents death and endings, and it can be pronounced "kye" or "key". The letter χ lends its name and form to the χ-blade, which features two Kingdom Keys crossed in an "X"-shape on the blade and Keychain token.

[[Xemnas]]<!--and the Master, per Back Cover prophecy--> adds a similar-looking "X" known as the {{nihongo|'''Recusant's Sigil'''|異端の印|Itan no shirushi|lit. "Mark of heresy"}} to the names of all members of Organization XIII. This is because he vaguely remembers Master Xehanort's fascination with the χ-blade.<ref>[[Kingdom Hearts Ultimania|'''''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' Ultimania''']], '''Interviewer:''' "Where did the Organization's coat and mark come from?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura:''' "One year after ''Birth by Sleep'', Xehanort, as well as five other apprentices toss aside their hearts. Then the Nobody Xemnas was born, and the Organization which he creates take a lot of things from his memories, as a human. But as Xemnas had two people who he was, Terra and Master Xehanort, he takes from both of their memories. [...] Xemnas gives Organization members names with an X in them. This has something to do with Master Xehanort's interest in the χ-blade." [https://www.khinsider.com/news/BBS-Ultimania-20-Mysteries-Solved-2546 Translation via Lissar].</ref> During the battle between the [[Guardians of Light]] and [[real Organization XIII]], Lea, Roxas, and Xion "take back what's theirs" by forcing three glowing χ symbols out of Xemnas. While Roxas states that the Recusant's Sigils will fade when Xemnas dies, he wanted to reclaim it and his identity for himself. The three repurposed the meaning of the Recusant's Sigil to represent their friendship.

According to Young Xehanort, the Recusant's Sigil can be used to track a person's location once he or she has been marked with it. During his [[Mark of Mastery exam]] in the [[Sleeping Worlds]], Sora is marked with the Recusant's Sigil by [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] so that the [[Real Organization XIII|other incarnations]] of [[Xehanort]] can keep an eye on him. The Recusant's Sigil appears on Sora's shirt in the form of a silver "X."  

The designs of Terra, Aqua, and Ventus's outfits were each inspired by the Latin letter "X."<ref>[[Kingdom Hearts Ultimania|'''''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' Ultimania''']], '''Interviewer:''' "Was it easy to decide on the design for the three main characters?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura:''' "No, it was actually pretty difficult. Especially since all three of them would change into armor, when I began to work on their design I had decided that they would hit a round device to change into the armor. But how I could incorporate that device into their clothing was pretty difficult to decide. Also, since one of the secret keywords in the story is "X", I decided that I had to put that somewhere in the design of their clothes."

===Stars===
[[File:Symbol - Lucky Charm.png|64px]]
[[File:Wayfinder Front (Artwork).png|64px]]
[[File:Brightcrest Keychain KHBBS.png|64px]]
[[File:Symbol - Lux.png|64px]]

[[File:Star Shard (Art).png|64px]]
[[File:Starlight Keychain (Base) KHX.png|64px]]
[[File:Kairi Chess Piece (Art) KHIII.png|32px]]
<br>
Stars are frequently-seen symbols in the series and are often associated with the various Worlds in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' universe. [[Star]]s in the night sky are actually other, distant Worlds. Stars fade out when the corresponding world has been destroyed; the disappearance of many stars is what prompted [[Mickey Mouse]] to find a way to stop the Heartless, beginning the events of the original ''Kingdom Hearts''. 

An artifact called the [[Star Shard]] allowed for transportation from one World to another, albeit randomly. Several accessories and Keyblades incorporate stars into their designs, such as the [[Star Seeker]]. [[Paopu fruit]] are star-shaped fruit which supposedly create bonds between friends that can span many different Worlds. [[Wayfinder]]s, lucky charms modeled after paopu fruit, have a similar reputation. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', as part of [[Marluxia]]'s plot to brainwash Sora, [[Naminé]] changes the appearance of [[Kairi]]'s Wayfinder to that of a simple star charm. The Wayfinders made by Aqua in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' manifest these bonds of friendship physically, in the form of the [[Dimension Link]] system. Paopu fruit and Wayfinders are featured in the designs of several important Keyblades, including the Ultima Weapon and [[Oathkeeper]]. A star is the Keychain token of the [[Wishing Star]]. [[Yen Sid]]'s powerful sorcerer's hat is adorned with several stars and moons. In [[The Final World]], those who linger there are represented by floating points of light arranged to form the shape of a star. Kairi's [[Alba & Ater]] game piece features a star on the top.

In ''Kingdom Hearts χ [chi]'' [[Lux]], a form of light, is introduced that together with the related Crystals of Light are also star-shaped. Additionally, every Keyblade releases a unique star when hitting an object or enemy, and many avatar parts incorporate stars, with the crowns on the Sora themed boards being replaced by stars.

The transition symbol for [[Daybreak Town]]{{KHx}} and [[Game Central Station]]{{Ux}} is a Lux icon.

==Minor symbols==
===''Fleur-de-lis''===
[[File:Symbol - Fleur-de-lis.png|64px]]
[[File:Symbol - TR Door.png|64px]]
[[File:Valor Form Orb KHII.png|64px]]

[[File:Symbol - Master Form.png|64px]]
[[File:Symbol - Old Mansion.png|64px]]
[[File:Symbol - Fleur-de-lis (CotM).png|64px]]<br>

Even in the real world, the ''{{w|fleur-de-lis}}'' is an extremely old and widespread symbol. It is a stylized flower, specifically a lily or iris, with a diverse range of meanings, but it has been most commonly associated with royalty or purity, and is the symbol of the French monarchy. Within the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, the ''fleur-de-lis'' appears on several accessories and weapons, such as the [[Master Ring]] and [[Midnight Roar]], the door to [[Timeless River]], various areas and uniforms in the [[Country of the Musketeers]] and two Dive to the Heart Stations: one of Ventus's Stations and the Station displaying silhouettes of three princesses. A standard ''fleur-de-lis'' is used to represent [[Valor Form]], while a stylized version of the symbol—one shaped like an "X"—represents [[Master Form]]. The [[Old Mansion]] features a unique symbol that combines the crown, heart, and ''fleur-de-lis'' symbols. In [[Traverse Town]], the ''fleur-de-lis'' symbol appears as a huge sign for the Accessory Shop.

The transition symbol for [[Country of the Musketeers]]{{KH3D}}{{KHMoM}} is a fleur-de-lis.

===Hidden Mickey===
[[File:Symbol Character - Mickey.png|64px]]
[[File:Kingdom Key Keychain KHII.png|64px]]
[[File:Kingdom Key D Keychain KHII.png|64px]]
[[File:Victory Line Keychain KHBBS.png|64px]]

[[File:Station Kingdom of Corona KHIII.png|64px]]
[[File:Mickey Chess Piece (Art) KHIII.png|32px]]<br>

The silhouette of Mickey Mouse's head is frequently used to represent not only Mickey himself, but Disney as a whole. [[Disney Town]] and [[Disney Castle]] feature the symbol heavily, and three of the many craters in the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] form the silhouette as well. The symbol is also incorporated into the [[Trinity Limit]] circle, [[Gimmick Card]]s, and certain weapons such as the [[Dream Sword]]. It serves as the Keychain token for the Kingdom Key, [[Kingdom Key D]], [[Victory Line]], [[Braveheart]], and the [[Star Cluster]] Keyblades. King Mickey uses the symbol to seal all of his official letters.<!--Goofy: Gawrsh, that's the king's seal!--> In the Sleeping Worlds, [[La Cite Des Cloches]], [[The Grid]] and [[Prankster's Paradise]] are arranged to make up a Hidden Mickey. In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', the Station of Awakening for the facsimile of the [[Kingdom of Corona]] in The Final World bears the silhouette around the circumference of its design, as it is where Sora finds Mickey's heart and rescues it from the Lich. Mickey's [[Alba & Ater]] game piece features a Mickey head on the top.

The transition symbol for [[Disney Castle]]{{KHII}} and [[Disney Town]]{{KHBbS}}{{KHMoM}} is a Hidden Mickey.

In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', the symbol appears across nearly all worlds in the form of [[Lucky Emblem]]s. While some are true Hidden Mickeys formed by items lining up properly into shape, others are simply the image of the symbol stamped onto the surroundings.

In the real world, Disney places {{w|Hidden Mickey}}s in many of its properties, including Disney theme parks and scenes in many Disney movies.

===Book of Prophecies===
[[File:Symbol - Book of Prophecies.png|64px]]<br>

The symbol of the [[Book of Prophecies]] appears embossed on the cover of the titular book. Similar in design to Terra's mark and the Nobody symbol, it is an ornate heart with an elongated spiked cross at the bottom.

A unique Dive to the Heart station in the menus of ''Kingdom Hearts Union χ'' features the emblem. One of the chess pieces that appears in ''Kingdom Hearts III'' also bears this symbol. It can be seen drawn on a chalkboard in [[Yen Sid's Tower]] during the events of ''Kingdom Hearts III''.

===Gazing Eye===
[[File:Symbol - Gazing Eye.png|64px]]<br>
The {{nihongo|'''Gazing Eye'''|見つめる目|Mitsumeru Me}} is a blue eye with a {{w|cymophane|cat's eye}} iris which belongs to the [[Master of Masters]]. He placed it within the [[No Name]] Keyblade, then asked [[Luxu]] to pass it down from apprentice to apprentice, eventually reaching [[Xehanort]] in order to have it observe its surroundings throughout the eons and pass those back to the Master in his own era. Aside from the No Name, the Gazing Eye is also visible in its alternate form as [[Young Xehanort's Keyblade]], as well as his Clock, while the symbol appears on the Keyblades or Keychain tokens of his other apprentices, the [[Foreteller]]s, as well as those of [[Xehanort]]: Vanitas's [[Void Gear]], Terra's [[Chaos Ripper]] and [[Darkgnaw]], Riku's [[Soul Eater]] and [[Way to the Dawn]], Riku and Sora's [[End of Pain]], and [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]]'s dual Soul Eater polearm. A red variation of the Gazing Eye is also present in the Fake Attack Card picture, dropped by {{ns|Game|Zexion}}.

[[File:Symbol Character - Vanitas.png|64px|Vanitas]]<br>

The Ultimania strategy guides use miscellaneous symbols not used anywhere else to represent certain important characters. Kairi's symbol is made of three small circles superimposed over a thin cross. Naminé is represented by a white flower superimposed over a black four-pointed star, and resembles Roxas's symbol. Both Donald and Goofy are represented by stylized crosses; Donald's is formed by four silhouettes of his mage's hat, while Goofy's seems to be based on the Hidden Mickey symbol on his shield. [[Jiminy Cricket]] and [[Pluto]]'s symbols are X-shaped and formed by crossed silhouettes of umbrellas and bones, respectively. [[Ansem the Wise]]'s symbol is based on the odd, squared cross shape formed by the front of DiZ's cloak. [[Pete]] is represented by a stylized silhouette of his own head, and [[Maleficent]]'s symbol is a cross formed by four silhouettes of her horned hood. 

[[Pete]] has an additional symbol, a coat of arms seen above his door to Timeless River. The coat of arms is a grayscale shield adorned by the same stylized symbol of Pete's head, two arms with closed fists along the top, a letter "P", a cigar, and another closed fist at its base. Vanitas's crest is depicted as two halves of a gear arranged in an "S" shape, and appears on his and Ventus's fused Dive to the Heart Station, as the Keychain token for both versions of the [[Void Gear]], and on the portal that initiates the battle with the [[Vanitas Remnant]].

Each [[Organization XIII]] member has a symbol displaying a black silhouette of his or her exclusive weapon. For members that carry multiple weapons, such as [[Xaldin]], only the silhouette of one weapon is shown. However, both of Roxas's Keyblades and three of Larxene's Knives are silhouetted on their personal panels. Xemnas is the only member whose primary weapons, the [[Interdiction]] Ethereal Blades, are not silhouetted. Instead, Xemnas is represented by the silhouette of the shield used by his dragon form. 

The symbols are used like tombstones to represent each member in [[Proof of Existence]] and the [[Garden of Assemblage]].

Each [[real Organization XIII]] member has a symbol displaying a black silhouette of his or her exclusive weapon. Returning members from the original Organization XIII retain their symbols, with the exception of Xemnas, who acquires a new symbol representing his Interdiction. Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, who carries no weapon, is represented by the Heartless emblem instead. 

Like the original Organization XIII, the symbols are used to represent each member in the [[Garden of Assemblage]] [[datascape]].

A symbol from one of Naminé's drawings in the Old Mansion—a compilation of the Nobody, Heartless, and standard crown symbols—is used to gain access to Ansem the Wise's laboratory in the virtual Twilight Town.
