About and data sources
Printable Kanji Charts makes it easy to print the kanji lists learners actually study. It is a static website: charts are built in your browser and printed with the browser's own print dialog.

- KANJIDIC2 by the Electronic Dictionary Research and Development Group (EDRDG): characters, readings, meanings, stroke counts, school grades and frequency ranks. Licensed under CC BY-SA.
- kanji-data by David Gouveia (commit
00fd707): KANJIDIC2 fields merged with JLPT levels in one file. Repository under the MIT licence; the underlying data keeps its own licences. - JLPT lists compiled by Jonathan Waller, distributed through kanji-data.
- School grades and their order come from the Ministry of Education's 学年別漢字配当表 (grade table of 1,026 kanji), transcribed on Japanese Wikipedia (revision 110351977, CC BY-SA 4.0). Every chart lists kanji in the order Japanese children learn them: by grade, in table order within each grade, then the remaining kanji by frequency.
The JLPT has not published official kanji lists since the test was revised in 2010, so JLPT levels on this site are unofficial estimates.
