1) The 臣 radical has 6 strokes in the jinmeiyou kanji in which it appears, not 7. The Kanji Kentei Kanji Dictionary says so. 

2) The 离 in the jouyou kanji 離 and 璃 has 10 strokes and not 11 when written in kaisho. The Kanji Kentei Kanji Dictionary mentions this, too.

3) 此 has 6 strokes, 些 has 7 strokes, 柴 has 9 strokes, and 砦 has 10 strokes. The 此 in the jinmeiyou kanji in which it appears (except for itself) is written with the leftmost and bottom stroke of 止 written as the katakana "re". Kanji Kentei Kanji Dictionary mentions this, as well.

4) Some jinmeiyou variants are missing from KanjiVG. Refer to this website for the codepoints to the jinmeiyou Kanji: https://en.glyphwiki.org/wiki/Group:人名用漢字-UCS

Please update KanjiVG's repository to include these kanji in the near future. Thank you in advance.
