Order prefixes
When one jōyō character’s KanjiVG strokes are a strict prefix of another’s, stroke by stroke, on the 109 square.
These are counts in one KanjiVG snapshot. A prefix at this tolerance is not a rule that the shorter character must be written first, and it is not a claim about meaning.
Click a plate to replay. The plate is the longer character. It draws the shorter character, holds, then continues with the remaining strokes. After the hold, the prefix is cinnabar and the strokes that follow are indigo. With reduced motion the finished character stays still, in those two colors. A plate without the prefix attribute draws in the ordinary ink, and the draw timings are unchanged.
- Cinnabar: the strokes of the shorter character
- Indigo: the strokes added by the longer character
