@crwydryny Romaji is not used by japanese people, just by people who begin to learn japanese and for tourists. Hentagana (or hentaigana) are sounds that are not used anymore in modern japanese (like [we] (ゑ) and [wi] (ゐ).
Finally, for kanjis, a random japanese adult must know 2,136 kanjis ( named jôyô kanji) out of about 20,000 (but most of them are very specific technical words and/or old japanese)
