spec: typographical inconsistency in character literals #47368

Description

@rillig

What did you do?

What did you expect to see?

  • The Unicode code points around the text "alert or bell" should be sorted.
  • The Unicode code points around the text "alert or bell" should either use uppercase or lowercase hexadecimal digits.

What did you see instead?

  • There ordering of the code points is not apparent. It is neither alphabetical nor by code point nor "vertical first, then horizontal".
  • U+000D is uppercase, U+000b is lowercase.

These inconsistencies are not critical in any way, I just wondered whether there was some reason for this inconsistency and for ordering the code points in exactly this way.
