of the document states that: The table of tōyō kanji put forth therein, are the selection of kanji recommended for use by the general public, including legal and governmental documents, newspapers, and magazines. The presented kanji are selected as an approximate set of those characters found to be of no insignificant utility in the lives of today's Japanese citizens. Concerning proper nouns, there is a wide range of usage beyond what may be formulated as rules, and consequently they are treated as outside the scope of this standard. The simplified character forms from modern custom are taken as the proper form, and their original forms are provided alongside them for reference. A systemization of the character forms and their readings is still under consideration (this referring to the later 1948 and 1949 publications that addressed these points in detail). Regarding guidelines for use, it continues: If the kanji set forth in this standard do not suffice for the writing of a word, then either a different word should be substituted, or else the word shall be written in kana. Write pronouns, adverbs, conjunctions, interjections, auxiliary verbs, and particles using kana as much as possible (normally hiragana is used for these). Foreign placenames and people's names are to be written in kana, except that traditional usage examples such as (beikoku, America) or (eikoku, England) are permitted. Words of foreign origin are to be written in kana (katakana is customarily used, but exceptions occur). Names of plants and animals should be written in kana (katakana is frequently but not ubiquitously used for these). Ateji (words like (tamago, egg) and (tabun, probably) that use the characters for their sounds, ignoring meaning) are to be written in kana. (This rule is not widely followed in practice.) As a general rule, furigana should not be used. Concerning technical and specialized terminology, it is hoped that the list of characters prescribed by the list of tōyō kanji will serve as a template for further standardization (acknowledging that the tōyō list may be insufficient for these applications, but should be used to guide more complete de facto standards). (In the above, parenthetical remarks are used for exposition and do not reflect text that is present in the document.) Mazegaki Because the majority of character-based words are composed of two (or more) kanji, many words were left with one character included in the Tōyō kanji, and the other
