The Asian one makes no sense.
I may be wrong, but I’m pretty sure the final one is the symbol for “five” and it takes 5 strokes to draw. it’d be like drawing a 5 one segment at a time in an eight segment number display as the tally marks.
You are wrong. This is the character for “correct”. “Five” is similar. Both have five strokes.
五 = five
正 = correct, positive
I still don’t like it. It’s not a logical placement of strokes. No I don’t care that the Kanji ultimately means ‘5’.
I don’t like it. It’s aesthetically displeasing with no logic.
It’s only aesthetically displeasing to you because you come from a western background. For someone used to say mandarin it is quite aesthetically pleasing. The final bottom stroke “closes” the set in a satisfying way that is consistent Chinese character stroke order.
Some things are culturally relative. Aesthetics is one of those things.
I understand that, But they’re still wrong.
The world is a wonderful and diverse place. Looking at your comment history I see some slurs that, to me at least, hint that you are a younger person.
My main advice to have empathy, be accepting and realize that many people live their own lives most of which are very different than yours.
People can learn, change, and live unique and meaningful lives. :)
