Jōyō kanji

The jōyō kanji (常�"�漢字) are the 1,945 kanji issued by the Japanese Ministry of Education on October 10, 1981. It is a slightly modified version of the tōyō kanji, which was the initial list of secondary school-level kanji standardized after World War II.

The 1,945 kanji in the jōyō kanji consist of:
* 1,006 kanji taught in primary school (these are known as the kyoiku kanji)
* 939 more kanji taught in secondary school

Changes from the tōyō kanji

The jōyō kanji list added 95 kanji not included in the tōyō kanji. Additionally, the character 燈 of the tōyō kanji was replaced by 灯.

The kanji found among the jōyō kanji but not the tōyō kanji are listed here:猿 凹 渦 靴 稼 拐 涯 垣 殻 潟 喝 褐 缶 頑 挟 矯 襟 隅 �" 蛍 嫌 洪 溝 昆 崎 皿 桟 傘 肢 遮 蛇 酌 汁 塾 尚 宵 縄 壌 �"� �"� 据 杉 斉 逝 仙 �" 挿 曹 槽 藻 駄 濯 棚 挑 眺 釣 塚 漬 亭 偵 泥 搭 棟 洞 凸 屯 把 覇 漠 肌 鉢 披 扉 猫 頻 �"� 雰 塀 泡 俸 �' 朴 僕 堀 磨 抹 岬 妄 厄 �' 悠 羅 竜 戻 枠
