Yes, the _mnemonic_ NUL is universal, but the character itself is
sometimes named or described as the "null character". I was just being
pedantic when "this project", by which I meant that we (on this
project) prefer the mnemonic "NUL" over longhand "null character",
whereas other projects may perhaps prefer "null character" or not
care.
