| Description | The Unicode character ☯, or U+262F, is known as the "Yin Yang". It belongs to the "Miscellaneous Symbols" block and falls under the "Symbol, Other" category in the Unicode standard. The yin yang symbol represents the philosophical and religious concept originating in ancient Chinese philosophy, where yin and yang are seen as complementary forces that interact to form a dynamic system in which the whole is greater than the assembled parts. The symbol is a circle divided by a curvy line into two teardrop-like shapes in black (yin) and white (yang), each containing a dot of the opposite color, signifying the interdependence and mutual influence between the two forces. |
