    Note: The stroke order of the full form 飛 varies; checking 4 sources finds 4 different stroke orders; Wenlin follows William McNaughton’s “Reading and Writing Chinese”.
    HDZ: 飛 : fēi : 鸟在空中拍翅行动; 动物飞翔; 禽鸟和有翅的小虫; 物体在空中飘落或流动 (飞雪, 飞絮, 飞砂/沙走石); 非常迅速 (飞舟, 飞奔); 奔驰的马; 突然的, 意外的; (流言蜚语); 高 (飞楼, 飞桥); 上扬; (飞檐); 飞星, 流星; (书法) 飞白; 矿物药或颜料, 研成细末…; (副词) 很, 极 (飞快, 飞红); 斐 (fěi): 有文采; 非: 不是
(Explanation from the entry for the simple form 飞:) The simple-form character 飞 (3 strokes) is an abbrev. of the full-form character 飛 (9 strokes), keeping the first three strokes, but omitting the lower full-form parts (6 strokes).
    The full-form character 飛 includes at lower left a shape like 升 shēng ‘rise up’ suggestive of flying, but not a traditional component of 飛.
    The Shuōwén Seal form of 飛(􂂅𩙱) fēi ‘to fly’ is said to depict a bird flying; in the abbrev. form (inner component) 卂(􂂍) xùn ‘fly quickly’ (迅) the strokes depicting 羽(􀦕) yǔ ‘feathers’ are omitted, because the bird flies so fast that its wings/feathers cannot be seen (the wings are tucked into the body, as a diving hawk).
    Compare: 羽(􀦕) yǔ ‘feathers’; 翅(􀦝翄􀦖翨) chì ‘wing’; 翼(􂂇􂂆𩙺) yì ‘wing’.
    Compare: 鸟/鳥(􀨤) niǎo ‘long-tailed bird’; 乌/烏(􀪫) wū ‘crow’; 隹(􀦸) zhuī ‘short-tailed bird’.
    Compare: 鹤/鶴(􀩙) hè ‘white crane; egret/heron’; 鹳/鸛(􀪎𪈩) guàn ‘white stork; black stork’.
    “[飛] represents a crane (very common in China) seen from behind. Upwards, the head and the neck bent up, as when the cranes are flying. Below, the tail. On both sides, the wings fluttering. The small strokes represent the quills separated when the bird is flying” —Wieger.
