Hi,
is there a particular reason for the slightly different names that Emacs
(version 25.0.92) and Python (version 3.6.0a0) give to a single Unicode entity?
Just to mention one codepoint, ⋖ is called "LESS THAN WITH DOT" accordingly to
Emacs' C-x 8 RET TAB menu, while in Python:
>>> import unicodedata
>>> unicodedata.name('⋖')
'LESS-THAN WITH DOT'
>>> print("\N{LESS THAN WITH DOT}")
File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: (unicode error) ...: unknown Unicode character name
ciao, lele.
