I discussed this issue with @xiaochengh, @kojiishi, @wangxianzhu and one other expert. We concluded that there should be no significant compat or interop risk with changing the spec text to use 永 instead of 水, since in basically all CJK fonts the characters have exactly the same width and height. Given that, and since 永 makes much more sense to Chinese speakers (including those I consulted), I recommend changing the spec to use that character. Note: In the Chromium implementation, we plan to still use 水 for the moment, because of issues like those mentioned in [this comment](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7577#issuecomment-1210082393). But again, that is just an implementation detail and will have no difference in the dimensions observed by web developers, and should *not* be how it's described in the spec or developer documentation. (I just mention it because otherwise there might be a performance concern with the change. We could change the implementation easily in the future if font buckets change.) -- GitHub Notification of comment by chrishtr Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7577#issuecomment-1217152457 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
