- Thanks! (to both of you) Would you happen to know the correct stroke-order for GAI/futa (for some reason i can receive Unicode fine usually, but i can't send it very well)? WWWJDIC doesn't have a link to it... it does have a third variant besides the two you mentioned, though. Do you know what the third variant is for? -Stephen (Steg) "uzubenmousourui no nojo wha doko desu ka?" (where is the dinoflagellate farm?) ~ take-off on a popular internet 'useful japanese phrase'
