This is how to draw the character "Se". It is composed of three strokes.
- The first stroke is across.
- The second stroke is down, with a bit of an upswing as the brush moves toward the third stroke.
- The third stroke is down, then curves across.
- With two dots (called nigori) it becomes "Ze".
- Se in hiragana
bears resemblance to Se in katakana
.
- Don't be misled by the superficial similarities between Se
and the katakana Sa
.
