U+4DED "䷭" Hexagram for Pushing Upward is a symbol from the I Ching, or Book of Changes, representing the 46th hexagram known as "Sheng" or "Pushing Upward". This hexagram is composed of the trigram for Wind, or Sun, over the trigram for Earth, or Kun, and its core meaning revolves around gradual, persistent advancement and growth, much like a plant pushing through the soil toward the light. It signifies a time of steady progress, success through small but determined efforts, and the virtue of accumulating merit and wisdom over time to rise in position or spiritual understanding. The hexagram encourages patience and humility, warning against arrogance or reckless haste, as true upward movement comes from organic development and alignment with natural rhythms.
