Consider making the stroke orders of 「夾」 more natural

AlienKevin opened this issue · comments

In v0.1.4, inkstone decides that「夾」's stroke order should be the middle「大」first and then two「人」s on the side.
This follows the general stroke order rule of writing the middle stroke first and then write the side strokes.

However, writing「夾」this way may accidentally leave too little room for the two「人」s on the side. Making the character look squashed. That's why many stroke order references decide to write「一」,「从」first, then the middle「人」
Quote from Wikipedia:

例如「夾」、「爽」兩字,若先寫中間(「大」部件),再寫左右(「从」部件、「㸚」部件),字體容易變得寬扁。因此正常的筆順,皆先寫「一」,再寫「从」或「㸚」部件,最後才寫「人」。
