   .Sh UNICODE CHARACTERS
   The escape sequence

   is interpreted as a Unicode codepoint.
   The codepoint must be in the range above U+0080 and less than U+10FFFF.
   For compatibility, points must be zero-padded to four characters; if
   greater than four characters, no zero padding is allowed.
   Unicode surrogates are not allowed.
