Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

The top left of 敢 should look like this: " ㄒ " . It's not quite right , as of now

I learned the simplified as a 横折 (horizontal-break).

I don't think that's right

Are you learning Japanese or Chinese?

I think it's probably a stylistic difference between traditional and simplified that didn't rate its own separate Unicode character. Simplified hook, traditional T. So we'll stick with the simplified, since that's what most people study.

I think style is the answer, but I don't know whether it is a question of traditional/simplified.

If I put this character into MS Word and try various fonts, I get varied results.
e.g., Simsun, Ariel Unicode MS and DFKai-SB give the "T", Batang, FangSong and KaiTi give the "hook".
