KanjiVG uses a
kvg:typevalue of ㇕va to represent the down stroke of kemono-hen 犭 and the bottom right stroke of ⻖. All the instances of ㇕va in KanjiVG are one or the other of these two. This has never been documented, but I've confirmed it against the source code. A complete list is athttps://gist.github.com/benkasminbullock/6dd26ef493074f5e47fa92693d1718a5
However, ㇁, CJK Stroke WG U+31C1, is actually the correct stroke to use for this, despite how it may appear in a font. Please refer to https://unicode.org/wg2/docs/n3063.pdf for reference. Also, ㇁ is completely unused at the moment in KanjiVG.
I suggest replacing this combination of letters and a CJK stroke with ㇁ to improve conceptual simplicity.
