KanjiPadJLPT N2 kanji list
By N2 you are expected to read ordinary Japanese without much help — news, work email, novels aimed at adults. These 739 characters are the bulk of that vocabulary, ordered by stroke count. Tap any kanji for animated stroke order, kun and on readings, and words that use it.
How many kanji are in JLPT N2?
739 — and all 739 are listed on this page, free, with no sign-up.
The JLPT stopped publishing official kanji lists in 2010. The characters teachers and textbooks usually place in the N3–N2 range are shown here as one set of 739 kanji: splitting them would mean inventing a boundary that no longer exists.
