In Hell Girl, when someone condemns their target to be banished to Hell immediately, they forfeit their own afterlife in Heaven as the price. As a mark of this covenant between the cursee and Hell Girl herself, a black mark appears upon their chest, shown in the pictures below:

Does this symbol have any significance outside the show? Or is it simply a fictional one to represent Hell in the series?

    This is just a speculation, but it resembles a [mitsudomoe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomoe). Some view the mitsudomoe as representative of the threefold division (Man, Earth, and Sky) at the heart of the Shinto religion. – Han Nov 07 '15 at 01:19
