Of course we can all (well, 99.9% of us 8-} ) whip out lists of common words
that contain non-Jouyou kanji, some of which didn't even make Level 1.
Donburi-no-don is another obvious one. I usually see kampeki written with the
"peki" in kana for this reason. (Monbushou rules.)

The first kanji-display thingo I ever used was a DOS TSR (remember them)
called "KD". It defaulted to no Level 2 kanji, but there was a compile option
to add them. RAM was so precious then.
