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 ”.
