• For brevity, only one English translation is given per
kanji. • The "Grade" column specifies the grade in which the kanji is taught in
Elementary schools in Japan. Grade "S" means that it is taught in
secondary school. • The list is sorted by Japanese reading (
on'yomi in
katakana, then
kun'yomi in
hiragana), in accordance with the ordering in the official Jōyō table. • This list does not include characters that were present in older versions of the list but have since been removed (). • Hyphens in the kun'yomi readings separate kanji from their
okurigana. • The "New" column attempts to reflect the official glyph shapes as closely as possible. This requires using the characters 𠮟, 塡, 剝, 頰 which are outside of Japan's basic character set,
JIS X 0208 (one of them is also outside the Unicode BMP). In practice, these characters are usually replaced by the characters 叱, 填, 剥, 頬, which are present in JIS X 0208. • The "Old" column reflects the official
kyūjitai specified in the standard jōyō table; it does not include unofficial, extended, or
Asahi characters. • The readings presented here are those noted in the official Jōyō table. Special readings and uncommon readings are indicated in brackets. Other readings (generally less common, such as the
nanori) may also exist. ==See also==
