Unicode Version 17.0
𝌋
U+1D30B "𝌋" Tetragram for Contrariety is a symbol from the Tai Xuan Jing, a classical Chinese text of divination and philosophy composed by Yang Xiong during the Han dynasty. This tetragram represents the concept of opposition or inversion, signifying a state where elements or forces are in conflict or moving in opposite directions. In the context of the Tai Xuan Jing's system, which is structured around 81 tetragrams as an alternative to the I Ching, contrariety serves as a phase that introduces tension and reversal, often requiring careful navigation to restore harmony. Its design, consisting of a series of solid and broken lines, visually encodes this dynamic of divergence and resistance.
