"
ic unit
Equal to the used advance measure of the “水” (CJK water ideograph, U+6C34) 
glyph found in the font used to render it.

This measurement is a typically an exact measure (in the few fonts with 
proportional fullwidth glyphs, an approximation) of a **single fullwidth 
glyph’s advance measure**, thus allowing measurements based on an expected 
glyph count.

In the cases where it is impossible or impractical to determine the 
ideographic advance measure, it must be assumed to be 1em.
