I don't think so. `read-char-by-name' is just a shim over
(completing-read
prompt
(lambda (string pred action)
(if (eq action 'metadata)
'(metadata
(annotation-function . mule--ucs-names-annotation)
(category . unicode-name))
(complete-with-action action (ucs-names) string pred))))
and if you want a different completion table, then you should just avoid
`read-char-by-name' -- it doesn't provide much value.
