Unicode Version 17.0

𝍐

U+1D350 "𝍐" Tetragram for Failure is a symbol from the Tai Xuan Jing, an ancient Chinese divination text composed by Yang Xiong in the 1st century BCE. This character represents one of the 81 tetragrams in the system, which functions similarly to the I Ching's hexagrams but uses four lines instead of six, with each line being either solid, broken, or double broken to indicate different yin and yang variations. Specifically, the Tetragram for Failure denotes a state of breakdown, defeat, or collapse, often interpreted as a warning about situations where efforts have been misdirected or where fundamental structures are compromised. In the broader context of Tai Xuan Jing philosophy, it serves as a reminder that failure can be a necessary stage for transformation, prompting reflection and the rebuilding of more resilient foundations.
