What am I? (The answer is probably pretty easy, but please give why for each of the lines.)

Tim Couwelier has the correct answer, but who knows the last line:

I consist of two times 2, a 6 and the final number of a different base

Hint(s):

I consist of two times 2, a 6 and the final letter of a different base
, and in addition I usually also consists of you

It doesn't have anything to do with the shape of the Yin Yang symbol

You are:

The Yin Yang symbol

I'm usually black and white

It's typically displayed in black and white

I'm not a Zebra, but perhaps a Panda is named after part of me

The Yang Yang panda

I'm always perfectly in harmony Because that is what I say

The symbol symbolizes harmony

I consist of two parts, and two times three lines is what I start with

Refers to the starting letters Y (which consist of three lines) - credit to Aleeeeee

I might be on your arm or leg, hand or foot, but at the same time I'm all around the universe

Reference to tattoo's - it's a common tattoo theme / they are also linked with 'Moon' and 'Sun' (for the universe part)

I consist of two times 2, a 6 and the final number of a different base

Unicode U+262F is the yin yang symbol: ☯

I'm like your left heart and right liver, one in down and the other up out

It appears (source: Wikipedia) that 'left heart' is 'yang' and 'right lever' is 'yin'.

    $\begingroup$ +1 Most correct, not all though. "I consist of two lines..."; "I consist of two times 2..." and "I'm like your left heart..." are incorrect. The one with Panda is incorrect as well, but your answer is a lot better. ;) I didn't even knew a Yang Yang Panda existed tbh, I was merely referencing to Yin and Yang both being pretty popular names in China and Pandas are Chinese. (PS: As for the "I'm like your left heart..." it isn't completely wrong, but the answer I was looking for comes from a different source. In this case, the last one (with "G. Maxwell") can be used as hint.) $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I consist of two parts, and two times three lines is what I start with refers to the letter Y, composed by 3 lines at the beginning of both the words $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Tweaked the organ one, and the two times three lines. Should be just the 'two times 2...' one remaining. $\endgroup$
