The Jouyou Kanji

These are the Ѵ (Jouyou Kanji), which have been specified for use in schools in Japan.

See the English Wikipedia page or the Japanese Wikipedia page for more information.

Wikipedia also has a very detailed list of the Ѵ.

There is also a page of the standard readings of these kanji.
