lokki Posted January 28, 2008 at 12:30 AM Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 at 12:30 AM I usually check stroke orders at this site: But I just discovered you get a different stroke order for 垂 than you get for the same character when it appears as the right half of 睡. I am confused. For 垂 the order is: top-horizontal, 2nd-hor, middle-vertical, 3rd-hor, left-vert, right-vert, 4th-hor, bottom-hor - And for 睡 (the right half) it is the same otherwise but the middle-horizontal is the one before last. Which of the two is in error, or are both orders correct? Or can it really be that the order is supposed to be different on its own than when it is part of a compound ?

self-taught-mba Posted January 28, 2008 at 01:51 AM Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 at 01:51 AM Wenlin software/dictionary says it is the same. Site made a mistake maybe. (I am no stroke order expert though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokki Posted January 28, 2008 at 09:59 PM Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 at 09:59 PM That's what I suspected. But which one of the two orders is right then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skylee Posted January 29, 2008 at 06:13 AM Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 at 06:13 AM The stroke orders used in Taiwan (they are consistent) -> 垂 is the 4th column from the left - 睡 is the 3rd column from the left - If you use the stroke order input method for traditional chinese then you need to follow this order. Otherwise, people don't necessarily follow this stroke order when they write in longhand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
