This attribute is used in two senses.

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”.
