# Description of a Private Character

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` ”.
