Sorry, it is "code point", not "codepoint"...

For the term please refer to
http://www.unicode.org/glossary/index.html#code_point

This term is used to differentiate the Unicode character encodings from
standard single byte character encodings. Unicode code points are used not
only to encode characters but also to encode administrative data, control
codes, etc. And some characters are encoded by 2 code points ("surrogates";
4 byte instead of 2). So the term "code point" seems to be a bit more
comprehensive than the term "character code".
