get-char-code-property: reports incorrect char names?

[T.V. Raman]

This is using the latest bzr snapshot, with the latest
unicodedata.txt from the Unicode  consortium.


I noticed that I was hearing incorrect character names for
unicode chars from Emacspeak --- and it's possibly due to a bug
in get-char-code-property.

The solution that works  describe-char-unicode-data --- is
declared to be semi-obsolete.

To see the problem, see code fragments and result of evaluation:

The  character used is the "cent sign" ==
¢ inserted via C-x 8c in the buffer.

(loop for p in
      (mapcar 'car char-code-property-alist)
      do
      (insert
       (format "%s: %s\n" p (get-char-code-property ?¢ p ))))

Compared to what describe-char-unicode-data returns for the same
character: note particularly the Name field.
(describe-char-unicode-data ?¢)
(("Name" "CENT SIGN")
 ("Category" "Symbol, Currency")
 ("Combining class" "Sc")
 ("Bidi category" "Sc")
 ("Decomposition" nil)
 ("Decimal digit value" nil)
 ("Digit value" nil)
 ("Numeric value" nil)
 ("Mirrored" nil)
 ("Old name" nil)
 ("ISO 10646 comment" nil)
 ("Uppercase" nil)
 ...)
