U+5586 "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+5586 "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that functions as a variant of the more common character 哲, both meaning "philosophy" or "wisdom." Composed of two 吉 symbols stacked vertically, each meaning "auspicious" or "good fortune," 喆 emphasizes a double sense of wisdom or blessing, often used in personal names for males due to its auspicious connotations. It is sometimes employed in classical texts or modern contexts to convey a heightened or poetic form of philosophical insight, and its structure echoes the repetition found in other Chinese compound characters. While less frequent than its counterpart, 喆 retains a distinct cultural resonance in East Asian writing systems.
