Voting for 90° clockwise to spite that other guy.

Can I vote for rotate 90° counter-clockwise? I know it's objectively wrong, but I also think it looks the nicest.

Thanks! Is that the same kanji? they look so different.

My wife is from Osaka, Japan. She read it as that kanji, so I'm trusting her 😆

Edit: This page has an image of the same kanji (Michi) that looks more like the one posted. https://www.towofu.net/soft/e-kanji.htm
