Unicode Block - Tai Xuan Jing Symbols
Tai Xuan Jing Symbols is a set of characters representing the ancient Chinese divination system of the same name, attributed to the Han dynasty scholar Yang Xiong. These symbols encode the four primary tetragrams, each composed of three lines, and their various combinations, along with associated numerical and textual annotations. Rendered in a style reminiscent of traditional seal script, the glyphs are used for scholarly reconstruction of the original text, for precise citation in academic works on early Chinese philosophy, and for specialized applications in digital typography that require faithful representation of this esoteric system. The repertoire includes not only the core tetragrams but also supplementary symbols for binary values, elemental associations, and labels for the nine palaces, making it a comprehensive tool for encoding both the visual and conceptual structure of the Tai Xuan Jing.
