Use U+ notation to refer to code points #127

Closed r12a closed 7 years ago

r12a commented 7 years ago

Applies to uievents, uievents-key and uievents-code specs.

Given the reasons enumerated in https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/240 that javascript escapes are not great for representing code point values, why you are using that notation (eg. \u003D) to identify code points rather than the standard notation (eg. U+003D)?

Using the U+ makes it easier to refer in the specs to a character such as 𣧂 or to emoji - ie. you would write U+239C2 rather than the completely unhelpful \uD84E\uDDC2.

We propose you change this notation throughout the three specs.
