The "☵" emote, also known as the "Trigram for Water" or "Kan" in Chinese, represents the concept of water in Taoist philosophy. It is one of the eight trigrams used in the I Ching, a Chinese divination text, and symbolizes the qualities of fluidity, adaptability, and perseverance. In Taoism, water is seen as a powerful force that can overcome obstacles and flow around resistance, ultimately achieving its goals through patience and persistence.
