The character 正 shows uprightness and correctness. It combines the symbol for “stop” (止) with a straight line — suggesting something proper and true. When people count items manually (e.g. in groups, meetings, inventory), they often draw one stroke per item. After four vertical strokes, the fifth stroke crosses them all — making the kanji 正.
