Maybe, but the @code isn't appropriate since neither characters nor
"key sequence" are source code.
I noticed the node "User Input" in commands.texi also talks about
characters, however, the examples like this are marked with @kbd.
Though, It does more appropriately use @samp, rather than @kbd, for
characters that aren't key sequences.
