Definition

What Is the Monogram Yang Entity?

Monogram Yang (⚊) is the Yijing yang line at Unicode U+268A. It is the unbroken line used in I Ching trigrams. There is no named HTML entity for it.

Remember

Character     ⚊
Unicode       U+268A
Hex entity    &#x268A;
Decimal       &#9866;
CSS escape    \268A
Named entity  (none)

Hex, decimal, CSS, and a typed character all produce the same glyph: ⚊.

Hex + Decimal + CSS + Typed

Four ways to produce ⚊ in a single document.

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Monogram Yang (⚊)</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\268A";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x268A;</p>
  <p>Using HTML Code: &#9866;</p>
  <p id="point">Using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p>Yijing: ⚊ Yang &nbsp; ⚋ Yin</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+268A → ⚊ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⚊.

2. Decimal: same code point as 9866 → ⚊. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \268A in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⚊ after the paragraph text.

4. Pairing: ⚊ is the yang line; pair it with ⚋ (Monogram Yin) for trigram diagrams — not with ☯.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Monogram Yang.

Named?

No named entity

HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+268A. Use numeric forms.

vs ☯

Not the taijitu

☯ (U+262F) is the Yin Yang circle. ⚊ is a single Yijing line symbol.

vs ⚋

Not Monogram Yin

⚋ is the broken yin line. ⚊ is the unbroken yang line. Pair them; do not swap them.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\268A belongs in CSS. ⚊ / ⚊ belong in HTML.

Encoding

Declare UTF-8

If you type ⚊ directly, keep <meta charset="UTF-8"> so the file is not misread.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write ⚊, not &#9866.

Remember

Key Takeaways

Unicode: Monogram Yang is U+268A (decimal 9866).
HTML: use ⚊ or ⚊ — no named entity.
CSS: use \268A inside content for generated text.
Pair: use with ⚋ (yin); do not confuse with ☯ (taijitu).

One line: U+268A → type ⚊, or encode as ⚊ / ⚊ / CSS \268A.
