The kanji 学学 is a 形声文字 (keisei moji), a phono-semantic compound character. It is composed of the semantic component 子 (ko - meaning "child") and the phonetic component 爻 (kou - meaning "to cross," "to examine"). The original meaning seems to have been related to education or training given to children. The "child" part indicates the recipient of the education, and the other part might have suggested the methods of teaching or examining what they are learning. Over time, the meaning broadened to encompass learning in general.
