Some Great "Cheat Sheets" For My Reference & Yours Too!

The basic Kanji (Chinese characters) consists of 1,850 characters legislated by the Government

Each kanji character has at least two readings. One is the "on" (Chinese derived) reading, and the other is the "kun" (native Japanese) reading. For example: the word mountain in its "on" reading is "san," but the Japanese also use the native "kun" reading of  "yama". Kanji's main use is as the roots of nouns, verbs, and adjectives.
