Also, "a further encoding of the encoding form" isn't going to be

It is a reference to a bad practice (used in URLs, for instance) to
encode twice (for instance in UTF-8, then in %xx escapes of the
bytes).

  "However, when information about characters is to be processed by
  people, reference to the Unicode code point is preferable to
  encoded representations of the code point."

That's not more clear to me.
