Those are both examples of named characters, including both was probably to
show we support non-english names (http://codepoints.net/U+10392) in
addition the ascii basic ones (http://codepoints.net/U+21). I could see
how its confusing though since both are "named code point" examples.
On a side note, we have character tab completion, so if you type "CHAR:
ugaritic" and then <tab> you'll see a list of names and you can choose if
its more convenient.
