Thanks, but I think it's too early in the build to use \N{name} syntax:

Loading /home/blc/.local/src/emacs/lisp/language/cyrillic.el (source)...
Error: invalid-read-syntax ("\\N{cyrillic capital letter u}" 130 42)
  [...]
  
load-with-code-conversion("/home/blc/.local/src/emacs/lisp/language/cyrillic.el"
                            
"/home/blc/.local/src/emacs/lisp/language/cyrillic.el"
                            nil nil)
  load("language/cyrillic")
  load("loadup.el")

So I followed the example of lisp/international/mule-conf.el and
switched to ?\uXXXX syntax:

; Fix last change to lisp/language/cyrillic.el.
