Extended shinjitai (Japanese: 拡張新字体, Hepburn: kakuchō shinjitai, lit. 'extended new character form') is the extension of the shinjitai (officially simplified kanji). They are the simplified versions of some of the hyōgaiji (表外字, kanji not included in the jōyō kanji list). They are unofficial characters; the official forms of these hyōgaiji are still kyūjitai (traditional characters).
