trigram

Three-element sequence

A trigram is a sequence of three consecutive elements—typically letters, characters, or words—used in language analysis.

In text processing and linguistics, letter trigrams like "the" or "ing" help identify languages, predict text, and analyze writing patterns.

In computing and cryptography, trigram frequency aids pattern recognition.

The term also refers to the eight three-line symbols in the I Ching, each representing fundamental forces or principles.
