For such rare words, stroke order really doesn't matter.

@PEMapModder There is no such rule as _"For rare characters, stroke order does not matter."_

@DrunkenMaster I mean, there isn't an entirely source of definition of stroke orders. Stroke orders are different in different places, so we can see that they are probably what becomes regular after wide usage. But for rare characters, they are rarely used, so I doubt if the rules for these characters can still be inherited. There are just generic rules, but not specific stroke orders, for characters.
