    For input "\u c1 c2 c3 c4" the codepoint is:

    between the ASCII value of the character and the desired integer value.

    /*!
    @brief scan a number literal

    This function scans a string according to Sect. 6 of RFC 7159.

    The function is realized with a deterministic finite state machine derived
    from the grammar described in RFC 7159. Starting in state "init", the
    input is read and used to determined the next state. Only state "done"
    accepts the number. State "error" is a trap state to model errors. In the
    table below, "anything" means any character but the ones listed before.

    state    | 0        | 1-9      | e E      | +       | -       | .        | anything
    ---------|----------|----------|----------|---------|---------|----------|-----------
    init     | zero     | any1     | [error]  | [error] | minus   | [error]  | [error]
    minus    | zero     | any1     | [error]  | [error] | [error] | [error]  | [error]
    zero     | done     | done     | exponent | done    | done    | decimal1 | done
    any1     | any1     | any1     | exponent | done    | done    | decimal1 | done
    decimal1 | decimal2 | [error]  | [error]  | [error] | [error] | [error]  | [error]
    decimal2 | decimal2 | decimal2 | exponent | done    | done    | done     | done
    exponent | any2     | any2     | [error]  | sign    | sign    | [error]  | [error]
    sign     | any2     | any2     | [error]  | [error] | [error] | [error]  | [error]
    any2     | any2     | any2     | done     | done    | done    | done     | done

    The state machine is realized with one label per state (prefixed with
    "scan_number_") and `goto` statements between them. The state machine
    contains cycles, but any cycle can be left when EOF is read. Therefore,
    the function is guaranteed to terminate.

    During scanning, the read bytes are stored in yytext. This string is
    then converted to a signed integer, an unsigned integer, or a
    floating-point number.
