This is how to draw the character "So". It is composed of one continuous stroke.
- The stroke is across, then downward in a right-to-left diagonal, across again, and finally curving in a counter-clockwise semicircle. This stroke is reminiscent of the Roman Z with a C drawn on the end.
- With two dots (called nigori) it becomes "Zo".
- Don't be misled by the superficial similarities between So
and the katakana Te
.
