The "☰" emote, also known as the "Trigram for Heaven" emote, is a symbol from ancient Chinese philosophy and cosmology. It represents the concept of heaven or the sky and is one of the eight trigrams used in the I Ching, a text that is used for divination and philosophical purposes. The symbol consists of three horizontal lines stacked on top of each other, with the top line representing heaven, the middle line representing humanity, and the bottom line representing earth.
