> but if every typeface follows the aforementioned principle I'm afraid this cannot be assumed for the following reasons: 1. In the history of computing, it is rare that many vendors all follow a specification strictly. People (and maybe all beings with general intelligence) just made mistakes here and there. 2. Although translated as 'Eight Principles of Yong' on Wikipedia, '永字八法' is actually 8 mostly-used stroke-drawing techniques demonstrated with the 'forever' glyph. And it is mostly for the regular script (楷体). More ancient scripts such as the Clerical script (隶书) have their own rules. Of course, many (if not most) typefaces used today are based on the regular script for readability. But artistic fonts are different stories. '永' is the good old choice to show strokes. But representing measurements is a new problem, picking another character is also okay. Since '水' is neither found dysfunctional nor associated with something unjust or distasteful, we are not in a hurry to abandon the current work. Let's resolve this cautiously. -- GitHub Notification of comment by sunhaitao Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7577#issuecomment-1214384277 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
