8.4 The String Type includes the statement "each element in the String is treated as a Unicode code unit value". There is no "Unicode code unit". Unicode defines three different encoding forms, UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32, and each one uses different code units, namely of 8, 16, or 32 bits.
This should refer to UTF-16 code units.
