How and when to use it
- If you're indicating 'duality' in your post captions or explaining why 'bad people have a good side too', you can use ☯️. For example, "There's darkness in light and light in darkness. It all exists together, as one ☯️"
- Similarly, if your post caption is striking a balance, if you're sharing a spiritual post/repost on the importance of balance, both physically and spiritually, welcome the ☯️. Like, "Nothing's ever completely one thing. There's always a balance between many things ☯️".
- While advising someone on 'harmony', sharing a picture with a caption about the same, or even if you're just putting up a social media status about harmony, ensure to use ☯️.
- Since ☯️ is a representation or a symbol of ancient Chinese philosophy, it could be incorporated in contexts that are either about Chinese culture or Chinese spirituality, or both.
