• 戸 (top stroke is a horizontal line that does not connect to other strokes) - used in Japan.
• 户 (top stroke is a slanting dot) - used in mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia.

Note also the different stroke order: 户 and 戸 have the leftmost 丿 as the final (fourth) stroke, while 戶 (this character) has 丿 as the second stroke.
