The Chinese characters 不 meaning is not.

This Chinese character represents a bird dying up towards the sky and disappearing from sight, as if becoming non-existent. The horizontal stroke signifies the sky as the limit, blocking the bird from ever reaching its destination. Hence the idea of “not”, a negative: 不. Arrogant man, unable even to walk with his fellowman, now tries to fly; to him also, the sky is the limit.
