Position profile

Evidence on this page
Character data and name data stay separate
KANJIDIC2 supplies the readings, nanori, stroke count, frequency field, grade classification and English character glosses. JMnedict supplies the example personal-name records. The Ministry of Justice remains the official reference for current child-name character rules.
Source boundary
KANJIDIC2 supplies the character metadata. The jōyō/jinmeiyō grade interpretation is a reference layer; the Ministry of Justice remains the controlling official source for child-name character rules. Example names are imported from JMnedict.
