Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-values-4][css-writing-modes-4] Revisit decision to use 永 instead of 水 as the ic unit (#7577)

Is the issue here the belief that 水 was picked by accident because someone conflated it with 永?

@fantasai disconfirmed that in https://twitter.com/fantasai/status/1555385335663759360, and I wonder if the same issue would be raised if the chosen character was instead 口 or something.

I'm not a member of the CSSWG, but the fact that 永 is a kind of reference character in calligraphy doesn't by itself make it a good choice for the `ic` unit. The kind of analysis that @myakura did in https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7577#issuecomment-1210082393 seems like a better ground for this kind of decision.
