Do you mean saving two characters for posting to Tweeter ? Well may be, but
Tweeter clearly does not promote correct typography and not even correct
orthography. It is clearly not a good model for publishing.
But given the history of this character, I just wonder why it was not
mapped along with

That's an astute observation, but André was talking about input limits
Not if the limit is counted in characters and not in bytes. Twitter, for
example, counts code points in the NFC representation of a tweet.

Actually, that's my bad: I meant to type scalar value.

Are they not the same thing, except for surrogates?

Thanks for the note.
I think what you say is that I thought (or meant to write) by first

counting [code points typecast from] code _units_. I think
