Component order rule 5 โ€“ hanging enclosures

Hanging enclosures are always the first component to be written.

They are: ๅŽ‚ gandare, ๅนฟ madare, ๅฐธ shikabane, ๆˆธ todare, ็–’ yamaidare, ่™ toragashira.

่™ toragashira follows a very strange stroke order. I’ve seen university professors get this one wrong!

The vertical slanted stroke in ่™ toragashira is written before the hooked horizontal stroke (the roof of the hanging enclosure).

ๅด– gake ‘cliff’, ้บป asa ‘hemp’, ๆ…ฐ nagusameru ‘to comfort’, ๆˆป modoru ‘to return’, ้ amaneku ‘widely’, ็—… yamai ‘illness’, ่™Ž tora ‘tiger’, ่™œ RYO ‘prisoner’.

With the exception of ่™ toragashira, the ‘roof’ of the hanging enclosures is written first.

Within its respective shape, the hanging enclosure is written first, and the enclosed part is written next.
