Curious though. As the page did not explain, what is "ch"?
Character height?
Here is the spec text about `ch`:

As far as I can remember, the `ch` doesn’t really stand for
anything, and I don’t think there is an equivalent in the
typographic history. IOW it is an arbitrary name.
I wrote about this back in 2012, in a short article I think is pretty
okay, but the real gold is in the comments from readers, who as usual
know way more than me:
