Character doesn't mean anything

[cor3ntin]

In the wording, depending on context, the term character can designate

• An abstract character in the source encoding
• An abstract character in the execution encoding
• A code point in the
• A code unit
• An instance of a character type (char, char8_t, charc16_t, etc), which doesn't represent a character type
• ...

More critically, this confusion is source of bugs, or unsupported feature ( for example, is it possible to have a non-ascii digital separator?)

We should fix that but its a lot of work
There is a bit of code wording to change and quite a bit of change which might be required
to <filesystem>, <string>, <regex>, <locale>, <format>, <iostream>

I think this is a particular case of updates that we would do for issue #7. Can you provide a rationale for keeping this issue open as a separate task?

Closing as something to be addressed as part of #7.
