Dan'a'yo forcibly limits the number of Chinese characters which can be used to around 2, | Dan'a'yo forcibly limits the number of Chinese characters which can be used to around 2,592 (as of 2024). This is done by only drawing characters from the standard lists of each country (CJK). Characters that are inventions of anyone country as banned. Characters which are not common or strictly necessary are banned. Similar characters are sometimes lumped together, especially if they are obscure. The "weight" of any character is determined by its place in the following national lists: | ||

Each character is like a letter and may or may not be a word on its own. Characters which are not words | Each character is like a letter and may or may not be a word on its own. Characters which are not words have a two-character word which is deemed to be the same as the solo character. Every character – in theory, all 45,000 Chinese characters which have ever been used – is assigned to one of five categories: | ||
# Common - ([[単亜語/常用字|常用字]]) These 1931 characters are the bedrock of the language and may be used freely. They are further divided into six levels, solely for the purpose of aiding learning. | |||
# Variants - (異体字) These are disallowed ways of writing a given character, mainly arising from national and font differences. It is also a way of appropriating many, many additional characters into simply being aliases of established characters. Only the Shinjitai, listed form of the character is "correct". | |||
# Advanced ([[単亜語/先進字|先進字]]) These 276 characters are useful for situations when Dan'a'yo needs to function like a native language, and speak on any topic, but are considered extra learning. Their usage is restricted in international and cosmopolitan situations, which are intended to be maximally inclusive. | |||
# Name ([[単亜語/名字|名字]]) These are 385 characters that detail the specific names of species and municipalities, which must always be safeguarded with a determiner, which identifies them as such. | |||
# Illegal ([[単亜語/違法字|違法字]]) Finally, there are some characters which are the provenance of one country only, and are therefore ''banned'' in Dan'a'yo. There are about 90 of these. | |||
