I was referring to the function `ucs-names', which "returns an alist of
(CHAR-NAME . CHAR-CODE) pairs cached in [variable] `ucs-names'."
I was guessing that you wrote that code. In any case, `ucs-names' is called in
`read-char-by-name'. It is essentially passed as a COLLECTION argument to
`completing-read' (not quite, but the effect is similar).
`read-char-by-name' is used by `ucs-insert' to read the character to insert.
