		The tōyō kanji (当用漢字, "kanji for general use") were the first kanji declared "official" by the Ministry for Japanese Education on November 16, 1946 (Shōwa 21).
		Thus in 1981, the Ministry for Education decided to revise the toyo kanji with a more flexible objective, which brought the publication of the jōyō kanji, rendering the tōyō kanji obsolete.
		That for the technical terms, it is desirable to use the tōyō kanji as bases and to carry out arrangements necessary (the objective is not here to issue that it is necessary to stop the use of all the kanji and to replace them by hiragana, this choice being left with the specialist in question.

		Kanji are one of the four character sets used in the modern Japanese writing system (the other three being hiragana, katakana and romaji).
		A kanji character may have several (in rare cases ten or more) possible pronunciation s, depending on its context, intended meaning, use in compounds, and location in the sentence.
		Many ateji (kanji used only for their phonetic value) have meanings derived from their usage: for example, the now-archaic 亜細亜 ajia was formerly used to write " Asia " in kanji; the character 亜 now means Asia in such compounds as 東亜 toa, "East Asia".

		Another heading also mentions the 1850 toyo kanji - does this make sense if it was introduced in 1946?
		I'm not an expert on your other issues, but I can help on your last question -- the 1850 refers to the number of kanji, not the year of introduction.

		A Kun reading of a kanji is the Japanese reading, and is often the Japanese word that is closest to the Kanji's original meaning.
		To look up a kanji in a dictionary, you need to know a few things about it, mainly (if you don't know the pronunciation of it) you need to know how many strokes it has, or which radicals is it composed of.

		Certain writers have even gone so far as to argue that even the modest script reforms beginning with the toyo kanji and gendai kanazukai of 1946 were unnecessary and had to be accepted by the Japanese government in order to prevent even more "damaging" measures.
		In everyday parlance, the Sino Japanese elements associated with a kanji are called its on'yomi, and the native Japanese elements associated with it are called its kun'yomi.
		It is tempting to see the existence of kun'yomi as evidence for the claim that kanji are ideographs, but such a conclusion is unwarranted if ideographs are understood to be symbols that represent meaning directly without mediation by a formal unit such as a word or a morpheme.

	About Kanji
		In modern times, when Kanji are used in a word of native Japanese origin, the pronunciation of that character is called a Kun-yomi "reading", and is usually followed by an inflectional stem written with Hiragana script known as the Okurigana (or kana which follow).
		A little contemplation of this situation should shed some insight as to the reason why Kanji alone usually have Kun-yomi readings, and Kanji in compounds usually have On-yomi readings.
		Pure phonetic characters, established as a sort of Kanji syllabary used to express verb inflection before the invention of the Kana.

		Then, when you select one from the list, it will show you not only the transaltions, reading and other data, but also all combinations in which the selected kanji is present, however only those that are made of kanjis in your personal list.
		So each time you add a kanji to your presonal list, the list of available combinations for all other kanji are expanded and you can have more combinations to use as examples.
