It's an alternative way of writing 楽 if you know that one. It basically means fun.

It can be read, たのしい,たのしむ, がく, or らく.

also consider that it could be the traditional form of the Chinese yue\le meaning music\happy (much the same).

Can you tell us more about where you found it? Does it appear with other characters?
