what is a better way to generate iching 64 hexagrams?
3
If I have list for iching (bagua) trigrams as follows, what is the best way to generate 64 hexagrams as in shown in the image attached? I can use the use the binary code (e.g.{1,1,1}) for either color coding or draw the trigrams inspired from here, or use the unicode here. Is nested for-loop the right approach? This is probably too much to ask.

I apologize in advance that I am not able to use these characters. So I am assuming that you know how to use them (and what they mean). This answer just creates an array of Latin characters and Arabic numbers. You may thus want to redefine lstchar to your needs.

Thank you very much for your effort, @marmot. Your solution explains the placement elegantly. I will explore how to stack the 8 trigrams to generate 64 hexagrams.

@TonyTan You can puttabulars in the nodes. Just replace the node commands in my code bynode[color=mycolorZ,rotate={Z*(360/64)-90},scale=1.5] at ({Z*(360/64)}:7) {begin{tabular}{c} char\[-2mm] char\[-2mm] char end{tabular}}; node[color=mycolorZ,scale=1.5] at (X-4+0.5,4-Y-0.5) { begin{tabular}{c} char\[-2mm] char\[-2mm] char end{tabular}};. Of course you can define more lists and thus get different characters.

If you want to display the hexagrams, one font that contains them is DejaVu Sans, and they have Unicode code points U+4DC0 to U+4DFF.

@marmot Yes, good point. Especially since the symbols apparently have some kind of religious significance, of which I’m wholly ignorant.
