吉(き↑ち↓)= Lucky (especially from a fortune)
不吉(ふ↑きつ)= Unlucky

Why is it not ふきち!? Makes me want to quote Atsugiri Jason: WHY JAPANESE PEOPLE WHY!!!

    Thanks… I looked up 吉, and unfortunately it appears that there are just two onyomis for this. WHY!

      It’s true that other combos for this have kichi as onyomi… this probably is one of those many exceptions.
