[backport] improve unicode docs, fixes #2353 (#10174)

* as instructed in #2353, provides a short description why
there are no specialized procs for seq[Rune]
* adds several examples to better explain what some functions do
* small fixes (double backticks, add missing dots, etc.)
* use `rune` instead of "unicode characer"
