W It means 'king'. The top is a line and the bottom is shi4 (see the related characters below). Shi4 represents a capable person and the line on the top stands for 'above the person', so is the meaning 'king'. Another interesting explaination is the three horizontal lines represent heaven (the top line), land (the bottom line), and people (the middle line), respectively. The middle vertical line connects the three lines. Only the king has the power to govern heaven, land and people. It is also a popular Chinese last name.
