tetragram for reach

Tetragram for Reach

21/87

The “Reach” sign is one entry in Yang Xiong’s Tai Xuan Jing, a Western Han guide to interpreting signs and discussing philosophy, modeled on the Yijing. The entry pictures yang, an active cosmic force, branching until it reaches everything. Early ridicule gave way to late Han and Three Kingdoms commentaries; the work flourished under Song scholars, then declined in Ming and Qing China. It survives in a Jin-era edited version.

Text symbol

What 𝌔 means

It follows the older classic’s model but uses different building blocks. The Yijing (“Book of Changes”) has six lines, each solid or broken; each Tai Xuan tetragram has four lines, each with three possible forms. Those combinations make 81 signs. The Tai Xuan Jing pairs each sign with short readings for divination and philosophical discussion.

Why does 𝌔 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
