In Japanese, counter words or counters (助数詞, josūshi) are measure words used with numbers to count things, actions, and events. Counters are added directly after numbers.

This is a simplified table of Japanese kanji visual components that does away with all the archaic forms found in the Japanese version of the Kangxi radicals.. The 214 Kanji radicals are technically classifiers as they are not always etymologically correct, [1] but since linguistics uses that word in the sense of "classifying" nouns (such as in counter words), dictionaries commonly call the ...
The list is sorted by Japanese reading (on'yomi in katakana, then kun'yomi in hiragana), in accordance with the ordering in the official Jōyō table. This list does not include characters that were present in older versions of the list but have since been removed ( 勺 , 銑 , 脹 , 錘 , 匁 ).
The frequency list is derived from the 47,035 characters in the Chinese language. The Jōyō frequency is from the set of 2,136 Jōyō kanji. [1] Top 25% means that this radical represents 25% of Jōyō kanji. Top 50% means that this radical plus the Top 25% represent 50% of Jōyō kanji.
The term measure word is also sometimes used to refer to numeral classifiers, which are used with count nouns in some languages.

The table is developed and maintained by the Japanese Ministry of Education (MEXT). Although the list is designed for Japanese students, it can also be used as a sequence of learning characters by non-native speakers as a means of focusing on the most commonly used kanji. Kyōiku kanji are a subset (1,026) of the 2,136 characters of jōyō ...
I made a shorter sub-list by category for quick reference; I just tried to pick out some of the most helpful, and highlighted ko. (My thinking is that this page is most likely to be read by English speakers learning Japanese.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.194.100.111 12:29, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
