Han Unification - wrong display of TRADITIONAL Chinese characters
I have problems displaying traditional Chinese characters correctly
(I don't know if you can either... I'm putting links to websites with images and animations so you can understand better)
Am I being too fussy and punctilious? Is it a font problem? Is it regional? How can I learn the correct way to write and type traditional characters?
Example:【米蘭】- Milan
【米】
Most of the time this characters shows as follows (stroke order animation)

I also found this variant

【蘭】
By looking at the stroke order, it appears the top 艹 is separated (not connected 艹) and there's a 柬 in the center:

However it almost always shows as follows (the Japanese version) or with the top connected and 柬 in the center:

As in western languages, there are many kinds of fonts and the shapes of lettering can be different. If you really want to learn the correct stroke order, here's a link which I use to learn Chinese calligraphy. Although it is in Chinese, you can skip to the 2nd half of the program and just watch how the character is written without knowing what is said. Professor Tian shows how each character is written in three scripts. The Kaishu style (first style) is what you want.
