Mirror pairs in the order
For each jōyō character, the stroke pairs that are near left-right mirror images about the vertical midline, which side is drawn first, and how far apart they lie in the order.
These are counts in one KanjiVG snapshot. A mirror pair is not a rule of stroke order.
Click a plate to replay. Once a stroke has been drawn, the first mirror pair is cinnabar, the second indigo, the third ochre, and a later pair celadon. A stroke that is not in a pair keeps the ordinary ink. With reduced motion the finished character stays still, and the color stays. A plate without the attribute is not recolored. The draw timings are unchanged.
- Cinnabar: the first pair
- Indigo: the second pair
- Ochre: the third pair
- Celadon: the fourth pair, and any later pair
