Chinese languages

Hi Guys,

I really need your help. I need to find out the meaning of a symbol. I'm not even exactly sure if it is a chinese alphabet symbol. If not - could you please give me a hint what kind of symbol is it? I found the symbol on an old candle, here's a photo of it:

Thanks in adavace, this is kind of important to me,
Thanks,
Ami

The character is
氣
which literally means "air", but can also mean "life force" or "spiritual energy".
