wow that was tricky! i looked at it a bunch of times and they looked identical. Shocked I'm surprised bech32 allows both of those letters since they look so similar.
Well, Bitcoin addresses are not made to be written down or spelled by humans. You use copy/paste or risk errors. At least Bech32 detects them pretty accurately and not only one at a time even. As far as I remember Bech32 can detect where an error is and pinpoint it, see https://bitcoin.sipa.be/bech32/demo/demo.html
