Is it on your monitor? If so could be for dual screen ....just a guess.

Is it on your TV, or PC? The sign usually means that you can connect another monitor at his point. Newer ones have HDMI, but the port is to small for a VGA connection. Can you be a bit more precise?

It's on the back of a computer.

I recall seeing it in the shop and the clerk was pretty dense and said something about charging phones but I could tell he wasn't confident about that. 

It doesn't fit for charging cords and the symbol obviously is wrong for that.

It does look like hooked up monitors but I don't know of or have any plug that fits it. Of course it's not VGA or HDMI. 

Still a mystery I guess.

 

Maybe it's a hole for airing things out??

Could be ...get a torch in there an see if there is a connector....maybe a spare hole for something you didn't get for the price you paid.

Aha.

Should have done that before.

Yes, it appears to be totally empty!

Vaporplug.

Still curious what it is if it was there.

But thanks.

See the second link, it has that exact picture. It's of course an official Kensington Knock-off port.

could it be for a "Mini" HDMI for a second monitor?

 

Some graphic cards have two HDMI port, a normal sized one and a Mini

(Obviously if the space is empty it could be missing!)

As Jdietz has added a link, it’s a Kensington Lock hole to secure your PC or laptop with a cable and number lock ( similar to a cable for securing bicycles)

The symbol represents a chain !

[Jingthing]

Yes.
Mystery solved.
