What is JoyoKanjiKai?
JoyoKanjiKai is an award-winning website that lets you check whether or not Japanese kanji characters are jōyō (common-use)* …because sometimes, rather than fussing about all the different readings, meanings and stroke order, all you really want to know about a kanji is: ‘is it jōyō?’
Paste or type in any Japanese character and instantly see if it’s one of the official 2,136 jōyō kanji.
