BDSM Symbols: The meaning behind the Owned and Unowned Little Symbols

Littles

A tender yet unmistakable mark, the Littles symbol speaks of innocence wrapped in devotion. The closed circle reflects the collar—signalling that the little is claimed, protected, and off-limits to others. The open square, by contrast, evokes the unlocked cage of an uncollared little, free to be approached. At the centre rests the heart, representing the sweet, playful soul within.

This emblem belongs to those who embrace their little self—whether owned or unowned—and wish to declare it with pride.
