I just checked whether things has changed -- and, no, backward-sexp and
friends still do the wrong thing on Unicode literals like

?\N{HEAVY CHECK MARK}

in Emacs Lisp buffers.  In particular, backward-sexp after the final "}"
skips to the start of "MARK", and forward-sexp at the start skips to the
end of "HEAVY".
