ㅈ is three strokes; not sure what you mean by personal handwriting aside, but the 'stroke' is a designation of hand movement, not a count of curves that makes up the character. > I have never seen a native korean write ㅈ/ㅅ as displayed by most fonts, at least in non-formal settings. Here's[0] someone's history of Korean typography which points out that the ㅅ may come from 훈민정음 Hunminjeongeum [1], which indeed has ㅅ . Also perhaps you haven't seen middle school kids obsess over handwriting with multicolored pens ;) [0] https://m.blog.naver.com/PostView.nhn?blogId=designmage&logNo=221430311866&categoryNo=16&proxyReferer= https://m.blog.naver.com/PostView.nhn?blogId=designmage&logN...

Hmm? I don't think anyone considers ㅈ as three strokes, unless they're writing ㅈ like printed font. When handwritten, the whole フ-like shape is one stroke, and the small attachment is the second stroke. Traditionally, one stroke means one movement between the brush touching the paper and lifting off - for example the Chinese character 弓 has three strokes: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E5%BC%93#/media/File:%E5%BC%93-order.gif https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E5%BC%93#/media/File:%E5%BC%...

  Looks like it’s both 2 and 3 획 when handwritten. I know people who write with 3 strokes; I do with 2. https://ko.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ㅈ https://ko.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ㅈ https://namu.wiki/w/ㅈ https://namu.wiki/w/ㅈ
