Tetragram for Following

25/87

𝌘 is the “Following” figure in the Tai Xuan Jing, an ancient Chinese text used for divination and philosophy. It is a historical symbol, not an emoji; by itself, it does not tell you what a sender means.

Text symbol

What 𝌘 means

It names one of the Tai Xuan Jing’s 81 four-line figures.

Yang Xiong, a scholar in China’s Han dynasty, completed the book around 2 BCE. It borrows the figure-and-commentary format of the Yijing (Book of Changes), an older Chinese classic, but uses its own four-line figures for divination and reflection on change. The source heading is the Mandarin word cóng (從), “following.” Centuries later, Song dynasty Confucian scholars criticized Yang’s work, helping sideline the book.
