Originally the same character as 知, used interchangeably. In oracle bone inscriptions, ideogrammic compound (會意／会意) : 大 (“adult”) + 口 (“mouth”) + 子 (“child”) – to transmit knowledge. In western Zhou bronze inscriptions, 甘 started being added. As time went by, 子 corrupted into 于, 大 into 矢 (OC *hliʔ), and 甘 into 白, giving rise to the form seen in the Shuowen Jiezi (𥏼). The component 于 was dropped around the Western Han, arriving at the modern form.
Now a Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *ʔl'es) : phonetic 知 (OC *ʔl'e) + semantic 日.
Etymology
Exopassive of 知 (OC *ʔl'e, “to know”), literally “what is known > knowledge”.

Usage notes
In modern Japanese, 智 is mostly replaced by 知, due to the deprecation of non-tōyō kanji caused by the Japanese script reform.
