or piss. We love to piss on things we hate. Been doing it for centuries.

I think the whole heart thing comes from where you feel it and hate absolutely occupies the heart too. Same way we associate sadness with heartbreak.

Back in the day in the kids’ comics I remember at least one occasion where the spade card suit was used for that purpose. (Britain, 1980s/1990s)

A character’s speech bubble contained “I h♠te homework” or something similar. Might have been spinach instead of homework. Or school. Anything an irreverent protagonist might not like.

The artist was clearly using this as a counterpart to the more often seen “lo♥e”, but as an adult thinking about it now, I have to wonder if the artist had forgotten about the potential racial connotation of using it, or if they hadn’t but didn’t think it was particularly important.

Either way, ♠ could be used as a symbol of hate if the context permits it. Maybe best avoided if you’re looking for a generic one though.

Robert Sternberg saw three main elements in hatred:

• a negation of intimacy, by creating distance when closeness had become threatening;
• an infusion of passion, such as fear or anger;
• a decision to devalue a previously valued object.

The down-facing knife 🔪: sharp, cold, calculated

There are also very specific symbols of hatred, like the swastika and the Nazi salute, white-hooded robes and burning crosses, the flag of the Daesh, the Z of the RAF for the West et al., but all of those are tied to certain ideologies and cultures and might not make any sense outside of relevant situations.
