Stroke order
Stroke order is from KanjiVG, copyright Ulrich Apel, under CC BY-SA 3.0. A kanji is drawn only where KanjiVG and KANJIDIC2 count the same number of strokes.
Shapes inside it
The shapes EDRDG's KRADFILE lists 日 as containing. It is a lookup aid for finding a kanji by its parts: it says what the character contains, not where it comes from, and a shape need not be a kanji.
