Вот могу поделиться своей разработкой. Тут 140+ иероглифов, которые входят в самый простенький тест уровня N5, дополненный теми "бу" которые используются для построения этих самых 100 базовых. Не сомневаюсь, что и китайцев те же иероги входят в число элементарных. Индекс Н - это уровень теста японского (от 5 до 1 от легкого к сложному), индекс Г - это класс японской школы в котором изучают. Перевод на английский, но разберетесь
