Characters rarely used in Japanese

Characters that are almost never seen in Japanese and that probably not even the Japanese themselves have heard of or do not know how to read such characters. Thus, it is known that the Japanese must know more than 2000 kanji. But, some of them are very hard to find. They are so rare that some of them cannot even be found an exact translation. It is likely that some of these are characters that the Japanese no longer use. So, check out the Kanji rarely seen in the Japanese language:

1. Character 并

The meaning of this character would be "consolidation", who knows in what sense this is used. It has a total of 6 strokes. It is similar to the kanji "井", which means "fine".

2. Character 幷

This character is simply a variation of the previous character. This one has 8 dashes.
