In Niigata (新潟), the second character 潟 is rare and complex, and is thus simplified as 潟 → 泻（氵 写）.
•
Some simplifications are commonly used as special Japanese typographic symbols.

However, some abbreviated forms of Hyōgaiji (表外字, characters not included in the Tōyō or Jōyō Kanji Lists) included in the JIS standards which conform to the Shinjitai simplifications are included in Level pre-1 and above of the Kanji Kentei (e.g. 餠→餅, 摑→掴), as well as some other allowances for alternate ways of writing radicals and alternate forms.
