[Star Wars] What is the status of Coruscant in Eps 7? Was it even referenced in the OT?

I don't remember even a mention of Coruscant in the OT or Eps 7. Haven't seen Rogue One yet so no spoilers, if its mentioned there.

We see Coruscant in the celebration scenes at the end of RotJ, though canonically stormtroopers broke up those celebrations right away.

Coruscant was the site of the signing of the Galactic Concordance, a treaty which officially ended the Galactic Civil War.

The New Republic, in an effort to not make itself too much like the Old Republic, decided that rather than have Coruscant be the Galactic seat again, the NR capital would rotate around various planets in the galaxy. At the time of TFA, the capital was Hosnian Prime.
