=head1 SYNOPSIS
use charnames qw(cyrillic greek);
print "\N{sigma} is Greek sigma, and \N{be} is Cyrillic b.\n";

+ printf "%04X", charname::vianame("GOTHIC LETTER AHSA"); # prints "10330"
+
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Pragma C<use charnames> supports arguments C<:full>, C<:short> and
SCRIPTNAME LETTER CHARNAME
in the table of standard Unicode names. If C<CHARNAME> is lowercase,
-then the C<CAPITAL> variant is ignored, otherwise the C<SMALL> variant is
-ignored.
+then the C<CAPITAL> variant is ignored, otherwise the C<SMALL> variant
+is ignored.
+
+Note that C<\N{...}> is compile-time, it's a special form of string
+constant used inside double-quoted strings: in other words, you cannot
+used variables inside the C<\N{...}>. If you want similar run-time
+functionality, use charnames::vianame().

+=head1 charnames::viacode(code)
+
+Returns the full name of the character indicated by the numeric code.
+The example
+
+ print charnames::viacode(0x2722);
+
+prints "FOUR TEARDROP-SPOKED ASTERISK".
+
+Returns undef if no name is known for the code.
+
+This works only for the standard names, and does not yet aply
+to custom translators.
+
+=head1 charnames::vianame(code)
+
+Returns the code point indicated by the name.
+The example

+prints "2722".
+
+Returns undef if no name is known for the name.
