They all mean "You" .. Yet Omae is a kind of a rude way, you hear most people who use J-slang say it =P

Kimi and Anata are just polite ways to address people.

What is this Kanji ~ ? Thanks.

IS there a website that helps with how to do the strokes for Kanji???

If you search for a kanji on this site, you most of the time can view a gif that shows stroke order. When you search for a kanji/english word, under the stroke count there are two boxes, if you click on the one to the right, it loads a gif :)

What word are you looking for? I have a couple of kanji books that has the stroke orders and maybe I could scan it for you.

Also try www.tokyomokyo.com You have to register, but they have kana and some kanji practice sheets, showing stroke order.
