Different everyday word The two terms share no characters at all. In Taiwan the standard term is 意涵; on the Mainland it is 含义 - both point at “meaning”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 意涵、含義 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
含义 is HSK 4 vocabulary on the HSK 3.0 list.
