Today’s #kanji is 幾, which is listed under the radical of #いとがしら（幺） and it is a compound ideograph made of 幺x2 meaning “very small” and 戍 meaning “soldiers defending.” In order for soldiers to defend, they need to know the minute movements of the enemy, so 幾 has developed the meaning of “an omen” my dictionary says.
Meaning: an omen, unknown number/quantity (how many, how much)
Reading: キ、いく
幾何学（キカガク）: geometry
