U+2632 "☲" Trigram for Fire Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+2632 "☲" Trigram for Fire is a symbol composed of three stacked lines, with a broken line in the middle flanked by two solid lines, representing one of the eight fundamental trigrams from the ancient Chinese divination system known as the I Ching or Book of Changes. This specific trigram, named Li, is associated with the element of fire, the southern direction, the season of summer, and qualities such as clarity, luminosity, attachment, and quick intelligence. In I Ching philosophy, Li symbolizes dependence and clinging, much like fire must cling to fuel to burn, and it embodies the principle of light and warmth that brings civilization and enlightenment. The trigram also corresponds to the middle daughter in a family structure, and its visual pattern of a yin line between two yang lines reflects a core of vulnerability or emptiness surrounded by strength.
