Hi,
I would like to identify which, if any, of the following kanji are obscure in modern Japanese, outside of proper names. A native speaker's common-sense perception of "obscure" ought to be fine. Use in a single well-known word is enough to make a kanji non-obscure for my purposes. For example, if 蝋燭 is a well-known way to write ろうそく, then this suffices to make both the kanji non-obscure even if they are scarcely known anywhere else. (This is just an example I invented. I don't know if it is true.) I would like to ignore use in proper names. If a kanji is used in one or more well-known proper names, but is otherwise unused or hardly used, then that would count as obscure for my purposes.
I hope there aren't too many characters. I figure it will be fairly easy for a native speaker to zip through them.
