As per, w3c/payment-request#322 and also in HTML, it seems that spec editors want to talk about "characters", as those things logically editorially make most sense.

It would be nice if WebIDL allowed talking about "characters" in the context of DOMString.

I think it's actually better to not talk about characters. We're slowly changing things around. Especially in the context of DOMString that would be extremely ambiguous.

That's fine - but need guidance. I tried the other two and got laughed at for using them wrong 👍

Yeah, that's whatwg/infra#1 basically. I have plan, but haven't made the time thus far.

Seems this is in infra's realm. Closing here.
