Wrong.

Wrong.

All Chines, Japanese, Korean ALWAYS cont the stroke of

        *        *
     ****************
        *        *

3 and the stroke of

        *        *
     *******  *******
        *        *

4.

There is no exception.

Meaning is meaningless here. You can write Greek script with Latin alphabet
without changing meaning.

You don't understand how stroke count is used.

Normative count is completely useless.
