Tiger: 虍
虍 is the tiger component, called とらかんむり, and sits across the top. 虎 means “tiger,” 虐 “oppress,” and 虜 “captive”; the tiger image connects most directly to 虎, while the others carry different senses.
虎 has 8 strokes, 虚 11, 虐 9, and 虜 and 虞 each have 13; keep the top 虍 distinct from the lower parts.
