About these characters

The HSK 3.0 syllabus lists words, not single characters. This page takes every character that appears in the HSK 2 words and lists it once, in the order it first appears in the word list.

Characters already used at a lower level are left out, so the three levels together cover all 655 characters in the HSK 1–3 words without repeats.

The HSK 3.0 standard also includes its own character list, which may differ slightly from this set. Use these sheets to practise writing the words you are learning, alongside the HSK 2 word list.
