It's neither, because characters are integers in Emacs, and a
character is identical to its codepoint.
> And if the intent is "returns an integer that is the code point of the character that sometimes gets to be displayed and sometimes not... etc." then let it be documented that way. But you can't say "it's a character, except when it's not, and Emacs wouldn't know the difference anyway, so oops".
See above.
