names of the chars?

[Tobias Stamm]

Greetings to all standartisers!

I'm new here so forgive me my stupidness.

I just have one little question to which I didn't found the answer in 
the whole homepage:

What is the standard of the characters names?

What I mean is: For example, the character A has the name "LATIN 
CAPITAL LETTER A". So I guess for a name, there can only be used the 26 
capital letters of the latin alphapet plus space. But that's just my 
guess. Are there any other characters allowed (maybe some brackets or 
points, commata? digits?).

Aha, right now, I found a char that uses the minus plus some digits: 
"CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-298C6"

Thanks in advance for your help, even if it's just a link which guides 
me to the standartisation (maybe an RFC?).

proud to be a newby! :)

Greetings,

Tobias
