Also known as: Heart plus mark Japan, Internal disability mark Japan

Signals that the wearer has an internal disability.
Contexts: Public information

The mark exists because the category is invisible and the entitlements are frequently challenged.
Contexts: Public information
A heart outline enclosing a plain equal-armed cross set slightly off centre towards the upper left.
The broader badge with which it overlaps and is constantly conflated.
