	Stroke order - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chinese characters are used in various forms in modern Chinese languages, Japanese, and, in South Korea, for Korean.
		It is a common misconception that Chinese characters were originally carved; this stems from the fact that the earliest extant examples are in carved form on the so-called oracle bones, scapulomancy fortune-telling devices dating to the Shang dynasty.
		Stroke order can therefore refer to the numerical order in which strokes are written, or to the direction in which the writing instrument (brush, pen, or pencil) must move in writing a particular stroke.

		Chinese characters are used to varying degrees in the written forms of the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages (though the latter only in South Korea).
		Chinese characters have disappeared from Vietnamese — where they were used until the 20th century — and North Korea, where they have been completely replaced by Hangul.
		Most Chinese Chinese characters, however, are radical-radical compounds, in which each element (radical) of the character hints at the meaning, and radical-phonetic compounds, in which one component (the radical) indicates the kind of concept the character describes, and the other hints at the pronunciation.

		To input any character, simply press the keys corresponding to the first four strokes of a character and the key corresponding to the last stroke of a character.

		These simplified characters are also used in Singapore, but in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and Malaysia the traditional characters are still used.

		Note that the starting and ending points are defined by the intersections of the axis and the stroke contour, this is, they are near the exterior border of the stroke region.
		On the left-side of the window, you can find about 30 standard-compliant strokes; the locations of their keypoints are marked by red-crosses.
