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 spiked "X" is commonly associated with Riku. When using [[Dark Mode]], Riku wears the symbol on his chest, and the lack of a thorny cross symbolizes the fact he hadn't completely lost his heart to the darkness | The Heartless symbol is used, as its name suggests, to represent the [[Heartless]], specifically Emblem Heartless.

Riku's [[Alba & Ater]] game piece features this symbol on the top as well. 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 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.
