确què
certain, sure; definite, exact; real, true. 12 strokes, radical 石, first met in HSK 2.
What 确 is made of
石 (shí, stone) and 角 (jiǎo, angle).
石 carries the meaning — stone — and 角 carries the sound.
How to write 确
Strokes 1–5 write 石, then strokes 6–12 write 角.
Free, with no account: the app draws each stroke, then you write it and it says which stroke went wrong.
