Now reads:

You may interpolate any Unicode codepoint by name using C<\c>
and square brackets:

"\c[NEGATED DOUBLE VERTICAL BAR DOUBLE RIGHT TURNSTILE]"

Multiple codepoints constituting a single character may be
interpolated with a single C<\c> by separating the names with
comma:

"\c[LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A, COMBINING RING ABOVE]"

Whether that is regarded as one character or two depends on the
Unicode support level of the current lexical scope. It is also
possible to interpolate multiple codepoints that do not resolve
to a single character:

"\c[LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A, LATIN CAPITAL LETTER B]"

[Note: none of the official Unicode character names contains comma.]
