JLPT N3 Kanji List

The intermediate bridge: kanji for reading news, expressing opinions, and abstract ideas.

N3 is the bridge from beginner to intermediate. These kanji turn up all over everyday reading — signs, menus, simple articles — and they unlock a big jump in what you can understand.

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.
