Double Happiness
This is a common gift for Chinese couples getting married or newly married couples, but it appropriate for anyone for whom you wish the greatest of happiness.
As we say in the west, "Two heads are better than one" Well, in the east, two "happinesses" are certainly better than one.
If one could imagine looking at someone from above who is doing the infamous Snoopy dance and beating a drum that would be the image of this character. At the bottom is the symbol of mouth, open and wide ready to shout for joy. At the top is the symbol of drums, beating out our joy and happiness. Thinking about this image, it often reminds me of the simple pleasure a little child has just beating on pots and pans.
Taking those images to heart, that is the type of happiness this character is talking about. The symmetry of the symbol makes it "appealing" to the eye, a feature in Chinese writing that is just as important as the word itself.

There are a few characters representing the concept of "happy" in the Chinese language. Each one is slightly different to be placed in context with what one is speaking about.
For instance, the "happy" that is used often with holidays, lei, bears resemblance to many drums marching down the street. "Happiness" is also a matter of the heart and you will sometimes see a symbol of the heart, detailed to the right here, as part of the character.
The most well known symbol for "happiness" in Chinese is often referred to as the "double happiness". To begin with, the single symbol for happiness is the character xi.
