How many stroke does Chinese Traditional Word "蕭" have? I have referred to 

China Mainland Online Dictionary

and
Online Stroke Order Dictionary of Ministry of Education of Republic of China

Both are giving different numbers of stroke for this word.
China Mainland: 18 Total Strokes.
Republic of China: 16 Total Strokes.

But I counted myself, it is 17 strokes.
