The number 4 is a bad luck symbol because number 4 in Korean is pronounced as "sa", which also means "death." Therefore some buildings don't have a button for the 4th floor because of its bad luck.

What are some native American bad luck symbols?
No sane person has ever devised symbols intended to conjure up bad luck, since that would inevitably result in bad luck for the person using the symbol. It follows that there are absolutely no native American symbols for bad luck.Among the tribes that kept "Winter Counts" (symbols painted on buffalo hide to record major events year by year), many different unfortunate events were recorded simply as a matter of fact. A few examples:A smallpox epidemic that killed many people was indicated by the rough shape of a human being covered with red spots.A year when people starved through lack of meat was indicated by a drawing of the wooden rack with no meat strips hanging from it.A woman killed by enemies was represented by a drawing of a woman with arrows in her chest.None of these were intended to summon bad luck, but recorded events in just the same way that successes were recorded.
