What are the Jinmeiyō Kanji?

The Jinmeiyō Kanji (人名用漢字) is a list of kanji which may be used in addition to the Jōyō Kanji (see What are the ?) in people's names.[1] The Jōyō Kanji list is the responsibility of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, but the Jinmeiyō kanji list is the responsibility of the Ministry of Justice.
