Is there a term used for a new kanji that replaces an outdated one?

Question

Is there a term used for a new kanji that replaces an outdated one? 國 and 国 are good examples.

I assume the answer I provided is sufficient, as you *didn't provide one of these numerous examples*. — BJCUAI, Sep 04 '19 at 11:23
It'd be nice if you mentioned a few examples of the kanji you're inquiring about -- it'd make sure everyone is talking about the same thing. — desseim, Sep 04 '19 at 11:48

國 and 国 are good examples, since the new term is written differently from the old one. What is this called in Japanese? — Jack Bosma, Sep 04 '19 at 13:29

Wha? You're confusing me, dude. Why don't you list some examples, like the comments under your post are asking? – BJCUAI Sep 04 '19 at 13:14
国 is a good example, as it is completely rewritten from its original form as provided in your original answer. – Jack Bosma Sep 04 '19 at 13:25

? I'm confused. BJCUAI wrote `新字体 New-form`, so 新字体 is the term you're looking for, no? @Jack – Chocolate Sep 04 '19 at 13:32
@Chocolate Yes it is. – Jack Bosma Sep 04 '19 at 13:48
