Thanks for trying it.

First, I'm no expert on Unicode, by any means.

I use `get-char-code-property' to check for Unicode
chars, checking properties `name' and `old-name':

(or (get-char-code-property character 'name)
    (get-char-code-property character 'old-name))

If a char doesn't have either of those properties
then I flag it as not being a Unicode char.

(Perhaps the message shouldn't say it's not a Unicode
char.  I'm no expert on the terminology.  Perhaps it
should just say that the char has no name.)

Maybe you can suggest a code change to do something
more like what you expect?  If so, please do.  Thx.
