address@hidden unicode character escape
+  Emacs provides a syntax for specifying characters by their Unicode
+code points.  @address@hidden represents a character that maps to
+the Unicode code point @address@hidden  There is a slightly
+different syntax for specifying characters with code points above
address@hidden; @address@hidden represents the character whose
+Unicode code point is @address@hidden, if such a character
+is supported by Emacs.
+
+  Unlike in some other programming languages, in Emacs Lisp this
+syntax is available for character literals, and (see later) in
+strings, but not elsewhere.
