I've noticed this pattern too.
For example, try to draw the character 口 on the 'draw' functionality on jisho.com -- the correct stroke order is (cardinal directions for 3 strokes): 1. NW -> SW 2. NW -> NE -> SE 3. SW -> SE. If you try to do it any other way it will fail.
If this is a problem for you (e.g. learning Japanese and don't know stroke orders and/or don't care to learn them exactly) -- the Google Translate handwriting input for Japanese does not have this behavior (or at least as much) and will effectively recognize your incredibly shittily reproduced kanji.
- numpad0 6y agoMaybe those old dictionary software hold kanji as graphs internally and search as hierarchical trees. That would be far faster and more accurate than comparing 酒 酉 西 out of bitmaps as long as the user knows the order...

- philsnow 6y agothe second stroke of 口 goes right from your first glyph ╷ to the third glyph ┌┐ said another way, your second glyph ┌ doesn't appear in the "correct stroke order" because the top+right sides of the 'mouth' are drawn in one stroke.
- masklinn 6y agoI expect their list is for ordering, not individual stroke. If you only put ╷ and ┌┐ you could get to the second by starting at the bottom right. The alternative would be to list individual strokes e.g. ╷, ┐, ─. Or to use bolding but it's really hard for me to notice that┍┓is BOX DRAWINGS DOWN LIGHT AND RIGHT HEAVY followed by BOX DRAWINGS HEAVY DOWN AND LEFT. Plus it still doesn't really specify stroke order.

- jmchuster 6y agoBecause this is so ingrained in me from learning chinese, this is how i draw all my boxes as well when prototyping in the whiteboard. And same, you end up with that inverted acute trapezoid shape once you start going fast.
