I've just noticed that NamesList.txt is in a sense data mined by the Unicode consortium itself. I mean the "Unicode Utilities: Character Properties", which e.g. for LATIN SMALL LETTER P WITH FLOURISH (http://unicode.org/cldr/utility/character.jsp?a=A753) display in particular subhead: Medievalist addition Am I right that this information is available only in NamesList.txt? In my opinion this is important information and should be officially available for character data mining engines. Best regards Janusz -- , Prof. dr hab. Janusz S.
