I thought the number of standard kanji was only about 1900 to begin with.

- fiblye 7y ago2136. But the list isn’t at all comprehensive. There are a considerable number of kanji in regular use that aren’t on the list, and when you include place/person names, it grows massively. It’s possible to memorize all the standard kanji, but crack open a history book and you won’t recognize half of the words.
- viburnum 7y agoHaha, it was 1,945 when I was studying Japanese, times change. Kind of surprised they added characters rather than further shrink the list.
