Just a selection. If you see the English article, the main image at the top is one not included in that set.
In Japanese language, Ryakuji (Japanese: 略字 "abbreviated characters", or 筆写略字 hissha ryakuji, meaning "handwritten abbreviated characters") are colloquial simplifications of kanji.
Ryakuji are not covered in the Kanji Kentei, nor are they officially recognized (most ryakuji are not present in Unicode). However, some abbreviated forms of hyōgaiji (表外字, characters not included in the tōyō or jōyō kanji lists) included in the JIS standards which conform to the shinjitai simplifications are included...
Ah I see, thanks so much!
I can’t believe this.
One of my most recent posts was one saying “guys people keep telling me about these anomalies they call simplified kanji and it’s freaking me out” and everyone was like “naah bruh chill nobody uses these”
HERE IT IS. THEY USE THEM. MY EYES BURN.
