Simplified form of 飛. Pictograph of a flying bird.
About
The character "飞" developed from its traditional counterpart "飛", a pictograph originally depicting a bird with wings spread to represent flight, with its structure evoking the image of dual wings in motion. The simplified form "飞" abstracts this into a single cohesive shape suggesting upward trajectory, and while its core definition has always centered on aerial movement, its semantic range has expanded to include connotations of swiftness and ascent in various linguistic contexts.
