Stroke order diagram hurts quality of the dictionary - the 𦍌 stroke order is not the 羊 stroke order
I just want to point out the obvious that the stroke order stuff in the Translingual section looks terrible. Also, wouldn't 𦍌 be different in stroke order from 羊? I am deleting it there because I think it hurts the dictionary for it to even be there and lowers standards too much. Here it is, with the excuse unhidden:

Admittedly a hack (copied from {stroke order}) and proper stroke order preferred, but conveys the content

class="floatright" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" style="border:1px solid #aaaaaa; font-size:8pt; text-align:center;" rules="all" frame="box" | colspan="2" bgcolor="#f9f9f9" | Stroke order |- | colspan="2" | |- |  ||  |- | (traditional) || (modern)

 * That stroke order stuff seems wrong- the fifth stroke in this character is 豎 in Mainland & Taiwan (豎 is fourth in Japan). The Hong Kong website is not working atm. http://www.zdic.net/z/21/js/7FA9.htm http://stroke-order.learningweb.moe.edu.tw/characterQueryResult.do?word=義 https://kakijun.jp/page/13116200.html  the 𦍌 stroke order is not the 羊 stroke order --Geographyinitiative (talk) 12:42, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

Christian huiyizi & etc
There is a widespread belief that this character, meaning righteousness, is a huiyizi ideogrammic compound in which the lamb is held up over the self, that is, Jesus, the lamb, is a sacrifice for me, giving the individual 'righteousness' under the Mosaic Code (hence the meaning of this character). This also fits in on some level with the idea of the Tower of Babel. I have never looked into this fully, but this understanding is so widespread that I think that the glyph origin for this character really needs some authoritative clarification here. Seems to say that the sheep component has to do with goodness, and that the 我 component is a phonetic component. I have viewed the components of this character as opaque to immediate explanation. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 19:43, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
