It's not a Chinese character. It's even written in the wrong way. At least there are two mistakes
from the point of view of Chinese calligraphy:

1) The longest horizontal line （倒数第五笔，横）: the bump on the left side of the line
should be on the right side;

2)The curve at the bottom right（ 最后一笔，捺）: the curve should be wide on the head and
narrow down to the tail.

Lalajla, where did you see this character?










skylee -

That doesn't really look like Xu Bing. Xu Bing looks Xixia.

What's Xixia? The dynasty? Did they have their own characters?

I get really depressed when I see T-shirts and bedclothes with signs that look like Chinese
characters but, in fact, are not. And then I get more depressed when I have to tell people that
marks on their shirts are not characters. They come very happy to me and tell me:"Look, I have
T-shirt with Chinese characters," And then, when I tell them the truth, they leave..... unhappy.
