The Chinese characters 未 meaning is not; not yet.

This Chinese character is to be distinguished from 末 in that the horizontal stroke across the top is much shorter: 未. In 末 the top line is emphasized; in 未 it is subdued, not fully grown. Hence 未: not yet. Those who have “not yet” attained their end should exercise patience and take heart from the proverb: “A giant tree grows from a tiny bud.”
