The seventh stroke in U+6414 搔 points left in Plex Sans JP: plex According to the JIS X 213 standard (page 13) and the Japanese government's official form list for non-jouyou characters (表外漢字字体表, page 10), it should point right: jis213p

Ref: https://github.com/adobe-type-tools/Adobe-Japan1/issues/9 Seems like a bug in Adobe-Japan1.

We have confirmed that the issue is due to an error on the Adobe-Japan1 character set. 搔(U+6414) shape will be fixed to original JIS standard in the next update.

Thank you for sharing the reference. @NightFurySL2001

Here is the character, according to Shuo Wen Jie Zi(說文解字) and Kang Xi Zi Dian(康熙字典). That part should be a hand or claw/paw. That dot is one of the fingers. Just for your reference. shuowen Shuo Wen image Kang Xi image Some other ancient characters
