[issue1581182] Definition of a "character" is wrong

[Marc-Andre Lemburg]

Without patch, I don't see how this issue can be moved forward.

Adding a list of such Unicode term definitions would at best cause additional confusion and only address people knowledgable in the Unicode field.

Note that Python's use of code units and code points matches those of the Unicode standard in most respects. Glyphs and all higher-level definitions are out-of-scope for Python.
