Writing Systems of the World 2, Exercise 3: sign names in Unicode

Code (run with py -X utf8):

import unicodedata
for cp in [0x12001, 0x13001]:
    print("U+%05X" % cp, unicodedata.name(chr(cp)))

Output from the run:

U+12001 CUNEIFORM SIGN A TIMES A
U+13001 EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH A002

What the names show (my observation): the cuneiform block names signs by their
conventional reading, and some signs are compounds of others (A TIMES A). The
hieroglyph block names signs by catalogue number (A002), a letter for the
sign's category followed by a number, which suits a script with a thousand or
more signs and a reading that depends on context.
