I am really interested in knowing what the hardest japanese kanji is / or most strokes in a kanji is. I have heard pre-WWII kanjis were hard... or there were more kanji then foreign burrow words. The only rule I will apply to this is, [directory word or not] you must be able to write within your computer.
PS: If a thread like this already exit, I couldn't find it. I found something similar... But it was for Chinese and the characters were fake.

The hardest kanji in common use is probably 鬱 (29 strokes), which is part of the new joyo kanji set.
The kanji with largest stroke count available on my computer is 䯂 (34 strokes), but structurally it's quite simple as 馬 appears three times.
There are three kanji with 33 strokes, i.e. one less than the maximum, but two of them are more complex: 龗, 灩, 麤.

Awesome, I haven't seen any of these before. Do you have spellings and meanings? I am not sure if this is correct.
