If it were easy to do, I'd be for doing it.

I don't think mentioning the numeric code point is going to do anything
for anybody. If we can't actually show the symbol, then just saying
"carriage return symbol" seems like the best bet. It might be worth
making sure that the phrase exactly matches the Unicode standard's name
for the glyph, but otherwise I won't sweat it.
