直

TranslingualEdit

Stroke order
 
Japanese stroke order
 

Alternative formsEdit

Note the different forms, which differ in two respects: simplified does not have a left vertical stroke, while the traditional form has a left vertical stroke; and in simplified form, the top component is connected with the bottom, while in traditional they are separated – this last difference is shared with unrelated characters 真 and 具. The traditional form and stroke order are used in Japan and Taiwan.
