So I'm practicing how to count the strokes of a Kanji. I've been having
troubles for this one since I can't find it on Jisho. So I've wanted to ask:
am I even right with the number of strokes?

[![Is the answer
right?](https://i.stack.imgur.com/yHPtV.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/yHPtV.png)

If not, is there an easier way to count the strokes of a Kanji? And since I
can't find the Kanji at all, can somebody tell me which Kanji is?

Thank you in advance!

question
kanji stroke-count
Stroke recognition in this kanji?
Yes; 12 is correct.

You can look up the stroke count from any dictionary, such as
[JDIC](http://www.edrdg.org/cgi-bin/wwwjdic/wwwjdic?1B).

Look at the `[画数]` for `満` and you will see that it is 12.

(At least I think you are looking at `満`)

The (free) computer application [Wakan](http://wakan.manga.cz/) has the option
to specify a rough number of strokes and the radical (or radicals) to narrow
down your search -- so if you're convinced it has 12 strokes and it's not
showing up, expand the window to 11-13 strokes, etc.

This sort of functionality is also available on the (free)
[KanjiDraw](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.leafdigital.kanji.android)
application for Android, and if I recall correctly the Chinese handwriting pad
on iOS is one of the few algorithms that is not heavily stroke-dependent (so
may recognize your attempt even if you're drawing in 1 stroke something that
is properly 2 strokes, which I'm often guilty of)
