21.2.2 Character Syntax

All simple characters have names that consist of U+ followed by the code of the character in hexadecimal, for example #\U+764F is (code-char #x764F) .

Additionally, Latin-1 characters have names derived from the ISO10646 name, for example:

(char-name (code-char 190))
=>
"Vulgar-Fraction-Three-Quarters"

Names are also provided for space characters:

(name-char "Ideographic-Space")
=>
#\Ideographic-Space

If required, the bits attributes names can be preprended as usual:

#\ctrl-ideographic-space
=>
#\Control-Ideographic-Space
