Re: SG16 meeting summary for January 11th, 2023

Hi Tom,

Thanks for making the changes. I would like to request that the bullet
about "code point"/"code unit" be struck. I do not recall initiating a
comment that matches the recorded description. Indeed, "code point" is
correct because it is being used in the sentence as the input to UTF-16
encoding.

Thanks,


Hubert Tong
