I suggest that we keep the UCS codepoints.
First of all there are some special characters in there that may not
be easily displayed, nor understood. Having a specific UCS codepoing
makes it much clearer and avoids errors.
Furthermore having symbolic characters improves portability with other
character sets than UTF-8.
