If I were up for bike shedding, I'd suggest to rather use comma separated
code point values here. I don't think I have a preference regarding the
repetition of the "U+" prefix (it looks less clear without it and feels
redundant if you require it), but thinking of the cases where a sequence of
two or more code points combines into one character makes it seem like a
useful thing to support in general.
