The text containing the restriction that numeric-escape-sequences specify values that "fit" into the "character" type is under a bullet saying "[the] value of any other kind of character-literal is determined as follows" occuring after "[a] multicharacter literal has an implementation-defined value". I believe that we want that restriction to also apply in multicharacter literal cases. Additionally, whether a numeric-escape-sequence can be "encoded as a single code unit in the ordinary literal encoding" seems to need the wording from the "other than multicharacter literal" case.
