Can someone please tell me what the first stroke is called in the character 我 It is written from right to left - I don't understand - none of the books I have describe a stroke of this nature. Also if you have a link to any websites that tell what strokes a character is made up of, that would be great - I don't just mean stroke order, but also the name of each stroke that makes up any particular character.
The first stroke in the character "我" is called丿撇piě The other strokes are: 丶 点 diǎn 一 横 héng 丨 竖 shù 亅 竖钩shùgōu 乛横钩hénggōu 乙横折弯钩 héngshéwāngōu 又 横折捺 héngshénà 冫 点提diǎntī ㄋ 横折横折钩 héngshéhéngshégōu 厶撇折点 piěshédiǎn 廴横折设撇捺héngshéshépiěnà and so on.
