I say "code unit" as a shorter way of saying "16 bit unsigned integer
code unit"
http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/#dfn-code-unit
(which DOM4 also links to) and then just "code point" to refer to 21 bit
numbers that might correspond to a Unicode character, which you can see
used in
http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/#dfn-obtain-unicode
