The spec uses in several places the phrase "code unit U+XXXX" (for some value of XXXX). This phrase isn't correct. The notation U+xxxx denotes code points, not code units. It should be replaced with "code unit 0xXXXX" or "UTF-16 code unit for the code point U+XXXX".
The phrase is found at least in the following sections:
18.2.6.1.2
19.5.3.4
20.1.3.5
24.3.2.2
24.3.2.3
24.3.2.4
B.2.3.2.1

would it still be valid to include the Unicode code point name as is done in. for example, 20.1.3.5

I think that should be fine – I see these more as inline notes than normative text.
