I am curious how many kanji a normal Japanese person is able to read. Since the Joyo kanji are learned by middle school, I assume that as a person goes through high school and university many more beyond the basic 2,000 are picked up.
For a typical 30-ish year old person in Tokyo with some university degree, how many kanji would he be able to read?
Furthermore, how often would he have to look up unknown kanji?
