Notes:

Observe the #14 row of both tables:

The Notes column in the second table describes a different third Unicode code point than what appears in the Password column of the first table. As the first table is a direct excerpt from RFC7613, it should not be modified and so the second table should be corrected to contain a proper corresponding example.

Section 3.4 says: 

1.  Temperature changes in the Temperature Control Protocol are
    indicated by the U+2206 character ("Δ").

It should say:

1.  Temperature changes in the Temperature Control Protocol are
    indicated by the U+2206 character ("∆").

Notes:

This applies to the PDF version only (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7997.pdf); the issue is repeated in the following lines.

The character on display is 'GREEK CAPITAL LETTER DELTA' (U+0394), not 'INCREMENT' (U+2206).

(found by Henrik Levkowetz, see https://github.com/rfc-format/draft-iab-rfc-nonascii-bis/issues/4#issuecomment-605623783)

This was marked "Held For Document Update" per discussion with the Temporary RFC Series Project Manager (John Levine).
