Top 100 Kanji: Misaki Gothic

The 100 most popular Kanji from Counting all the Kanji in Japanese Wikipedia, shown side by side in a standard font and in Misaki Gothic (美咲ゴシック), an 8x8 pixel Japanese bitmap font. Misaki Gothic manages to pack each Kanji into a tiny 8x8 grid (7x7 dot range) while remaining legible, which is an impressive feat given the complexity of these characters. The Misaki font was created for the Japanese screen driver SCRNJPN developed for Sharp PC-E500 pocket computer.

Ranked #1 (most frequent) to #100 (least frequent) based on nearly 2 billion Kanji characters across all of Japanese Wikipedia.
