Three radical markings in the order

These are counts in one KanjiVG snapshot. A count is not a rule. The page does not say that one radical mark is the right one. It makes no claim about meaning.

Cinnabar is the first group named in the caption. Indigo is the second. The tint is data-stroke-highlight. A plate without it is not recolored. Click a plate to replay. With reduced motion the finished character stays still, and the colors stay. The draw timings are unchanged. The plate stays cream in either theme.

How a mark is read

Mark
Group
Different group
First: One unbroken run, starting at stroke 1, with some other stroke still to come.
Last: One unbroken run, ending on stroke N, with some other stroke already written.
Split
In the middle: One unbroken run that is neither the start nor the end.
The whole character: The group contains every stroke. It is not counted as first or as last.
