The lists on the following pages include the 2,136 Jōyō Kanji, divided into levels 10 to 2 in increasing degree of difficulty.Not included in the Kanken lists are the kanji in level 1, because there are so many of them (about 4,000) and because the test for them (as for the kanji in level 2-2) is given only in Japan.
Within each level the kanji are arranged in the same sequence in which they appear in the textbook Japanese Kanji and Kana and the writing workbook Japanese Kanji and Kana Workbook.
The beginning of each list is labeled, left to right, with the number of the Kanken level, the number of kanji in that level, and, in parentheses, the range of consecutive reference numbers of the kanji in that level:
Kanken 10 80 kanji (1 – 80)Kanken 9 160 kanji (81 – 240)Kanken 8 200 kanji (241 – 440)Kanken 7 200 kanji (441 – 640)Kanken 6 185 kanji (641 – 825)Kanken 5 181 kanji (826 – 1006)Kanken 4 316 kanji (1007 – 1322)Kanken 3 285 kanji (1323 – 1607)Kanken 2-1 333 kanji (1608 – 1940)Kanken 2-2 196 kanji (1941 – 2136)
All the lists are made up of one or more pages, with 80 fields on each page.Beginning with the top row, the kanji are arranged in order from left to right.They appear in the standard printed form.
In the upper left of the field is the running reference number [291] by which the kanji is identified. Beneath the kanji 感 is a number [262] telling where in the book Japanese Kanji and Kana this kanji is to be found. To the right of this number is a number marked with a W telling where to find this kanji in the Japanese Kanji and Kana Workbook. The next line gives the descriptor (here, 4k9.21) for finding this kanji in The Learner’s Japanese Kanji Dictionary and The Kanji Dictionary. This information allows the user to quickly look up the kanji in these reference works to check how it is written, its readings and meanings, and important compounds in which it occurs.
