DescriptionThe Unicode character ☰, or U+2630, is named "Trigram for Heaven". It belongs to the "Yijing Hexagram Symbols" block, which includes symbols used in the I Ching, an ancient Chinese divination text. This character falls under the "Symbol, Other" category. Visually, it represents a trigram (a stack of three lines), all unbroken, which symbolizes Heaven in the context of the I Ching. The trigrams in the I Ching are used to represent various natural phenomena, and each combination has specific philosophical and cosmological associations. The "Trigram for Heaven", being composed of three solid lines, traditionally symbolizes the primal, creative force and is associated with elements such as the sky, the father figure, and the direction south in the I Ching's symbolism. The specific interpretation can depend on the context, particularly within I Ching studies and related philosophical or religious systems.
