Unless you mean "What are each of the characters' emblems supposed to be?" we don't really know. We don't know if emblems are a family crest sort of thing, a reflection of someone's soul/aura or semblance, something they chose on their own at some point, or anything. There is evidence of them being family crests and also evidence of them reflecting their aura and/or semblance, though.

Summer Rose's gravestone has the same scatter rose symbol that Ruby has, and Ruby's cape tends to give off rose petals.

The Schnee Dust Company's symbol has been shown to be the same snowflake emblem on the back of Weiss' bolero, and her glyphs tend to have snowflake symbols in them.

Jaune's symbol is those two arcs (though, according to Miles, it's a rainbow), and it's seen on his great-great-grandfather's shield.

Yang's symbol is a burning heart, and she tends to become enveloped in fire when she gets really angry.

Sun Wukong's symbol is apparently a monkey, and well, he's a monkey faunus.
