That symbol is the alchemical symbol for sulfur, and yes it has a representation of the human soul and the sol (sun). People would relate this symbol to the christian satan being sulfur is supposedly abundant in hell. Therefore christians would persecute those who bare this symbol on sight. It can represent vampyres only in the immortality fact. Same as the ankh.
