A human-readable description of a defined private character, for example, “Arrow, normal weight, single line, two-headed, Northwest to Southeast”.
The name attribute for a defined private character <private-char> provides a Unicode-style name (in uppercase) 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”.
