(sorry, fell asleep last night)
You mean: how do those things get into Emacs?
For this, I did a trick I like to do when I barely know what I'm
doing.
- first, find an Unicode codepoint name which is somewhat
distinctive (meaning: a string not likely to appear
"spontaneously" out there by some strange genetic coincidence).
I went with "REVERSED QUESTION MARK".
- grep the Emacs sources for it (M-x grep find is my friend.
It wants to be yours ;-)
You do have the Emacs sources around, don't you?
And here it is:
admin/unidata/UnicodeData.txt
There is a README file in that directory explaining where (and when)
all those files come from.
Or is it something else you are after?
Cheers
