holy sh!t you are level 1 again 
while I’m still struggling to reach 40
All the most important kanji have been already quoted, but I think that cocoon (繭) is also a common enough word to be aware of. And the kanji is almost a freebie because visually it’s thread+mushi inside some kind of shell, it’s like a mnemonic in itself !

Insert joke about homophones and not knowing if someone is talking about eyebrows or cocoons.
I think there’s a way for me to change the title…gimme a sec

No, actually, the quote was legit; it’s just that the text was exactly the same.
When I tried to use the highlight tool showing where the quote came from in the original message, I missed it as the highlight color changed since last time I used that tool

How often do you see this written in kanji? I feel like I’ve seen it occasionally, but even in business correspondence, it’s usually written in kana, isn’t it? Maybe the kanji is used in higher-formality documents/announcements than I usually see. (Either way, it’s still worth recognizing.)
但し and the zodiac kanji are all fairly useful, for sure.
賜 in 賜る and 賜物 is a big one, showing up all the time in customer-and client-facing writing. It’s also genuinely useful for N1 test reading.
稀 is common. (Ironically)

Currently reading my emails from work, and guess who just showed up.
(That doesn’t mean anything about general frequency, but, hey)
Doing a quick search, it seems that it only appears in the body of the emails (I receive) when they copy/pasted the content of an attached document, though.

I guess usefulness depends on the individual.
I think 椿 is useful and I was surprised that WaniKani doesn’t teach it, even though I usually encounter it in kana.
柚, 蚕 and 繭 are kanji that I have had to learn, too. But kanji dictionaries exist so I don’t know if everyone needs to learn them.
The quokka has had me wondering, though they have had / are having their 15 minutes of fame now-ish, but this turn of phrase makes me think you may be an Aussie, possibly a West Aussie???
(And I’ve just now noticed all the bicycle wheels in the background - that’s Rotto for sure!)
