The initial `#' character is a valid Emacs hash notation for writing
integers in various bases. After adding `\uXXXX' it seems reasonable
to add `#\uXXXX' as well. However, there is one difference: Emacs Lisp
hash notation doesn't use the backslash `\' after `#', e.g. `#x42',
but other Lisps use the backslash in the notation of Unicode characters,
e.g. `#\u3042'. I have no opinion which notation is better.
I think it is better to consistent with the existing Emacs Lisp
constructs.
