Not a single reason why it matters what-so-ever.

The left and right stroke is the correct way but hard to convey that on-screen ^_^</p> Thx jingoko – yes you’re quite correct, however, most of us only see it written with the head so that was the example I used.

If you learn the writing properly (especially from Chinese/Japanese calligraphy), you will have noticed that when writing 人 (Person), you need to first write a long left stroke and then add a short right stroke starting from about the middle of the left stroke.

However, when you write 入 (Enter), you need a long right stroke and a short left stroke.

The “head” is only emphasized for print font, otherwise it will be hard to differentiate the two on print text. You don’t need the “head” when writing.

It’s the same idea of adding serifs on English/Latin letter capital “I”.
