The hard characters of Jeremiah
Jeremiah uses 78 rare characters (outside the 3,500 common ones) and 408 that are common but beyond HSK 6, listed in the order the book first uses them, with their reading and first verse — a list to go through before reading the book aloud.
Rare: outside the 3,500 level-1 characters of the 通用规范汉字表 (2013), China’s official list of common characters. For learners: common by that list, but in no HSK 3.0 word of levels 1–6. This page prints cleanly.
