Hi Min Min
I think the stroke order is incorrect, the radical on the left should be written first.
Hi Karin,
The stroke order is correct. The radical on left should be written last.
Hi Karin,
No, the example above is perfectly all right. This radical is always written last, even though it is largely positioned to the left side of the character. You could maybe conceive this as being in alignment with the rules of stroke order, by regarding the position of the radical as being at the bottom of the character.
Hi Martijin,
You are right. This radical is always written last. Thanks.
