JLPT N2 Kanji List

Advanced Japanese: kanji for newspapers, essays, and professional communication.

N2 covers the kanji of upper-intermediate Japanese: news, business, and formal writing. Master this level and you can read most general-purpose text, reaching for a dictionary only for specialized terms.

The JLPT no longer publishes official kanji lists, so counts vary between sources. Kanjiru's counts map the official Jōyō set to the commonly used JLPT level assignments.
