I agree that names don't always help.  Sometimes they do, though.
I guess that in this case they don't.

FWIW, if I use the pattern "turk" with either Icicles (for `C-x 8 RET')
or `apropos-char' (library apu.el), I see these chars listed.  As all
but one have "OLD TURKIC" in the name, I don't suppose they are what
you are after.  Dunno.  I agree that matching by language instead of
just char name would be a useful feature.

(This is from `apropos-char'.  The first column is the char, which my
font cannot display.  In the list buffer, `RET' provides details about
the char of the current line, and `^' inserts it into the original buffer.)
