As you attack enemies, their three bars will lower depending on the attacks they are hit with. They have red, blue and green bars (hit if they have been scanned with a Magic Lens to view these bars) and once the bar is empty, another hit with that same type of attack will make them vulnerable to a fatal strike. This ability won't become available until you meet the Hunting Blades. The arte Shining Fang with Yuri is a good way to get a blue symbol to show up quickly. Gold Cat with Rita is great for red symbols.
