In Mandarin Chinese, 天 (Pinyin: tiān 🔊) means “sky”, “heavens”, “heaven” or “day”.
OK, the sky is big, right? Much bigger than a man with outstretched arms 大 can ever show, no matter how hard he tries. That’s why there is a line over his head. A whole new level. Some historical forms of this character show a stickman with a large head, or a line instead of a head.
