This repository offers an extended dataset of kanji characters featured in James Heisig's book "Remembering the Kanji" 1 & 3. It extends the existing dataset from this repository by:
- Incorporating 4 new columns (Lesson, Stroke Count, Frequency, and JLPT Level)
- Additionally, it includes 800 missing kanji readings.
