Name (Private Character)
The unique name for the character being defined by <private-char>.
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”.
