From Jisho.org, the stroke order for 衷 (inmost, heart, mind, inside) is:
I count 9 strokes, but the stroke number is listed there as 10. Additionally, on Android (with kanji fix), the kanji is rendered like this:
The number of strokes and the Android font version seems inconsistent with the stroke order. What is the correct stroke order for this kanji? How can I reconcile these inconsistencies?
First off, the jisho.org data is not always correct and comes from work by Jim Breen and WWWJDIC. It's valiant work, but it also includes errors.
At least according to kakijun.jp, this is primarily a ten stroke character. According to kakijun, the top should be a 亠（ナベブタ）and then a mouth 口 with a stroke drawn through it. The nine-stroke version listed there is considered an alternative.
