Kanji terminology

My current mastery of this grammar:
This article introduces the Japanese words for key terms related to kanji and kanji usage. Terms are listed in あかさ (gojūon) order.
かんたいじ | A simplified modern form of a kanji. This term is the general term; In Japan, simplified kanji are more commonly known as 新字体 |
ごじゅうおん | The gojūon (fifty sounds) is an ordering system for the sounds (phonemes) of Japanese. It is typically used to order hiragana and katakana. The order is sometimes casually referred to as あかさ order. |
じんめいよう | The Jinmeiyō kanji are a set of 862 kanji allowed for use in names, but not designated part of the Jōyō kanji. For a full list, see our Jinmeiyō collection. |
じょうよう | The Jōyō kanji are the 2136 'daily use' kanji designated by the Japanese government for use in official documents. Generally Japanese media also restrict kanji usage to kanji in the Jōyō set, together with Jinmeiyō for names. For a full list, see our Jōyō collection. |
はんたいじ | A traditional form of a kanji (in contrast to a simplified form). In Japanese, traditional forms are usually known as 旧字体 to contrast with modern 新字体. |
ひょうがいじ | Hyōgaiji, literally ('characters outside the chart') refers to all kanji which are not Jōyō or Jinmeiyō. By some estimates there are as many as 50,000 characters, including many variants and unused characters. |
