Counts and means only. No conclusions are drawn from small groups. These are counts in one KanjiVG snapshot. A stroke count is not a rule of stroke order, and it does not say what a character means.

Click a plate to replay. With reduced motion the finished character stays still. These plates set no extra attribute. The draw timings are unchanged.
