For [format.arg], when replacing NTCTS with its definition, there's no charT in context.
For [filebuf.members], there's a charT in context, but its type might differ from the character type of s.

We agree that the current definition of "NTCTS" could be improved. We need some analysis where it comes from and what it should have meant, and improve the wording.

Notes:

  • We need to spell out what the abbreviation means.
  • Need to be clear that the term depends on a template parameter.
  • Can we use small-caps somehow?

Move the definition to [character.seq] as a separate subsection. Spend more than a half-sentence on the definition; avoid use of charT(), which is not in scope anyway. Null characters are encoded as the 0 integer value anyway, so we don't need to jump through extra hoops. Use small-caps.

I think the term originated in the Filesystem TS, if I recall correctly.
