The numbered arrows on capital W show 4 strokes. Stroke 1 starts on the top line at the left and slants down to the right; stroke 2 starts on the baseline left of center and slants up to the right; stroke 3 starts on the top line in the middle and slants down to the right; stroke 4 starts on the baseline right of center and slants up to the right. For lowercase w the arrows show 4 strokes. Stroke 1 starts on the dashed midline at the left and slants down to the right; stroke 2 starts on the baseline left of center and slants up to the right; stroke 3 starts on the dashed midline in the middle and slants down to the right; stroke 4 starts on the baseline right of center and slants up to the right.
