Actually no, these are Unicode scalars, not code points; they exclude the surrogate category.
I agree that rune is a very poor name for it. It both mistakes what runes actually are and clashes with the runic block. But C# has adopted the Rune name for some reason.
Rust simply calls these char, and OCaml uchar (unicode char), which are much better choices.
