Private Character Description
Human-readable description of a defined private character (for example,
“Arrow, normal weight, single line, two-headed, Northwest to
Southeast”).
Remarks
The @name attribute for a defined
private character <private-char> provides a
Unicode-style name (an all uppercase name) for the private character, for example,
“COMBINING CYRILLIC PALATALIZATION”. In contrast, the
@description attribute for a defined private
character <private-char> provides a rough
visual description, for example, “combining vertical
tilde”.
