袓 has two literal meanings. One is "hobby", the other is "beauty of the
white color" (hope I
translate it correctly).
Sometimes the character will be confused with 祖 because they look very similar. 祖 means
"ancestor".
I heart the character 袓 is been randomly chosen to be used on the Wikipedia logo. If this
is
correct then I would be a little surprised because the meaning "beauty of the white
color" is very
suitable for current Wikipedia logo.

IMO, this logo looks great. It is considerably better than
the one used last year (which was, no offense, quite
horrible). Just one
question: You say that the character 袓 is exchanged with 豬,
which means pig. What does 袓 mean?

Hi,
2 days later, it will be the Chinese New Year, and some Chinese
Wikipedian has made the Chinese New Year celebration
Wikipedia logo.
During the Chinese New Year period (Feb. 18 to
23), I think Chinese
Wikipedians are proposing a celebration of new year on Chinese
Wikipedia. You can take a look of this logo,
http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Wiki_pig.png
There are 2 changes:
1. The logo is using red color which means happiness and
celebration
in Chinese community.
2. The logo is changing the original Chinese character 袓 to 豬,the
later one
豬 means pig. This year is the year of pig.
Please comment.
