For characters from other charsets, yes.

What would be the utility of U+ for Emacs users?  It just makes this
more confusing for people who aren't familiar with the U+nnnn notation
(which obviously excludes me, you, and the OP).  Emacs doesn't accept
that notation in any input mode, and never displays it.

But I'm beginning to repeat myself, so I will shut up on this from now
on.
