Of course it drops. I made the exact same observation 4 - 5 years ago, not only for characters, but also for words, and for adjacent characters etc.
It drops because the spread is evenly per word, and it reaches its top occ. at the average length. For words the average is 6 chars.
This thread is about double gallows. (I consider gallows : PFKT) There are no double gallows, because the "formula" for gallows does not allow it, and these are mainly scribe errors, and sometimes something else is going on.
