A code point is 'any value in the Unicode codespace' (TUS Section 3.4 D10). The 'Unicode codespace' is a range of integers from 0 to 0x10FFFF (TUS Section 3.4 D9). This works fine so long as one thinks of a 'code point' as just a number. The problem is that people rarely use the term 'scalar values'. Richard.
