There are several ways to write the word しあわせ:

> 幸{しあわ}せ
>
> 倖{しあわ}せ
>
> 仕合{しあ}わせ

I would like to know what are the different nuances between them, and when is
it appropriate to use each of them. For what is worth, I also asked the [same

What is the difference between 幸せ, 倖せ and 仕合わせ?
幸せ is the default kanji which you should use 99% of the time. 倖せ and 仕合わせ are
rare variant spellings that are reserved for creative writing. It's fine for a
lyricist or novelist to use such spellings, but ordinary people should
generally avoid them. See: [Why do authors choose to use obscure/old ways to
write words?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/90207/5010)
