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."

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.

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.

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.
