It is a broad label with many different variations and traits, ranging from eerie, lonely, and vast, to unstable, genderless, and nostalgic, among other things. While kenochoric is an umbrella term, it can be used as a gender on it’s own.

The flag for kenochoric had been created on the same day as the term. The stripes have the following meanings: Black represents the void, absence, emptiness, and darkness. Dark purple represents disconnect with gender, obscurity and a difficulty to properly define itself. Purple represents vast concepts and places, such as oceans and deep space. Light purple represents liminal spaces, transitional spaces, the "boundary" between what was and what is. |

A kenochoric symbol was created by Tumblr user mourningmogaicrew on August 13th, 2021. It was based off the gendervoid symbol because "both identities can involve voids, genderless, and creepy stuff. Also because their flags are both dark and pretty".<ref>https://mourningmogaicrew.tumblr.com/post/659420972546490368/new-gender-symbols-introducing-gender-symbols-for</ref> Before it was posted, the symbol was in a collection of gender anarchy symbols by the same person.<ref>https://mourningmogaicrew.tumblr.com/post/659238223676096512/assorted-gender-anarchy-symbols-pt-3-the-symbols</ref> |
