P3733R1 More named universal character escapes (Jan Schultke)

SG16 reviewed P3733R0 during its 2025-09-24 meeting. The following poll was taken:

• Poll 1: P3733R0: Forward to EWG with a recommendation to adopt this feature as a defect report.
  • Attendees: 10

    SF	F	N	A	SA
    7	3	0	0	0

  • Unanimous consensus.

The recommendation to adopt this proposal as a defect report is motivated by the paper; the only reason these character names were previously excluded was because of a lack of a normative reference for them. We now have (and already use) that normative reference in the form of the Unicode Standard.

I am removing the SG16 label; this issue is ready for LEWG review.

this issue is ready for LEWG review.

That is true, assuming that LEWG has any interest in reviewing this. However, their blessing is not particularly required. Re-tagging for EWG.
