U+4DE3 "" Hexagram for Darkening of the Light is one of the 64 hexagrams from the ancient Chinese text the I Ching, specifically the 36th hexagram known as Ming Yi. This hexagram is composed of the trigram Kun, the earth, above and Li, fire, below, symbolizing a situation where fire or light is hidden beneath the earth, representing times of adversity, obscurity, or when wisdom must be concealed to survive. It advises patience, humility, and maintaining inner clarity and integrity even when external circumstances are dark or oppressive, much like the sun setting below the horizon.
