emacs -Q
Go to (elisp)Character Sets
 
1. "The character set `unicode' includes all the characters whose
Emacs code points are in the range `0..10FFFF'."
 
The previous sections in the Non-ASCII major section use decimal
notation for characters and character ranges. When a character-range
value is returned from a function and printed by the read-eval-print
loop, it is written in decimal notation.
 
The notation used should be consistent.
 
2. Description of `map-charset-chars':
 
2a. All that is said about argument ARG is this:
"The second argument is the optional argument ARG."
That's useless. It seems not to respect the reader.
 
2b. "optional arguments FROM-CODE and TO-CODE limit that to the range
of characters". These should presumably be FROM and TO, not FROM-CODE
and TO-CODE.
