[alreq] Character and code point? (#275)

xfq has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/alreq:

== Character and code point? ==
https://www.w3.org/TR/alreq/#h_encoding

> Arabic script is encoded in the Unicode standard semantically, meaning that every letter receives only a single Unicode character, no matter how many different contextual shapes it may exhibit.

"[Unicode code point](https://www.w3.org/TR/i18n-glossary/#dfn-unicode-code-point)" might be more accurate than "Unicode character", since "character" [often leads to confusion](https://w3c.github.io/bp-i18n-specdev/#char_def).
