    Dan: D stands apart

Stroke order
  1. 1Start just below the top line and pull the stem down to the baseline.
  2. 2Make a small loop to the left on the baseline.
  3. 3Sweep right along the baseline and up the right side in a wide curve.
  4. 4Carry the curve over the top and back to the left, past the top of the stem.
Where it joins
D finishes at the top, so the next letter starts with its own upstroke: D, then a, in Dan.
Mixed up with

L has the same small loop at its foot but stops there and runs out to the right; D carries the curve on, up and over the top.
