Calligraphy Proportion & Grid Coaching for 好
When 女 stands as a left radical, its third stroke rises upward as a crisp Tí (提) that stops right at the right edge of 女 without crossing into 子.
Common Stroke Order Pitfall for 好
Align the long horizontal stroke of 子 slightly higher than the rising Tí of 女 so the two halves interlock tightly.
