U+268B "⚋" Monogram for Yin Unicode Character

U+268B "⚋" Monogram for Yin is a visual symbol composed of two short, parallel horizontal lines stacked vertically, representing the dark, receptive, and feminine aspect of the ancient Chinese philosophical concept of Yin and Yang. As part of the I Ching monogram set, it contrasts with the solid line representing Yang (U+268A), and together they form the fundamental building blocks for the trigrams and hexagrams used in the traditional divination text. This character is encoded in the Miscellaneous Symbols block and is often employed in discussions of Taoism, cosmology, and Chinese culture, where it signifies the passive, yielding, and earthly principle that complements the active, dynamic force of Yang.
