The ☵ symbol represents "Kan," the trigram for water in the ancient Chinese divination text, the I Ching (Book of Changes). Visually composed of a solid yang line sandwiched between two broken yin lines, it traditionally embodies the moon, deep water, and overcoming danger. Today, you will often see it used in digital contexts related to Taoist philosophy, Feng Shui practices, and East Asian cultural discussions.
