Actually, no, this point is not ignored at all.

It makes it very clear that JSON is composed of Unicode code points.
UTF-16 only occurs once, where the twelve-character-escape for non-BMP code points is explained.
So that may be one point where following ECMA-404*) might make the work of this WG simpler.

*) Great numbering :-)
We should try to get RFC 7404 :-)
