Afaik a character in the unicode sense can consist out of multiple
codepoints. (e.g. for languages that have many possibilities of combining
"accents" where there doesn't exist a glyph for every combination)

So a character (as something that prints a whole) can consist out of
multiple 32-bit values (codepoints)
