<p>The Unicode name list file NamesList.txt (also NamesList.lst) is a plain text file used
to drive the layout of the character code charts in the Unicode Standard. The information

<p>Directly following either a NAME_LINE or a RESERVED_LINE an uninterrupted sequence of
the following lines may occur (in any order and repeated as often as needed): ALIAS_LINE,

+<ul>
+ <li>Blocks must be aligned on 16-code point boundary and contain an integer
+ multiple of code points. The exception to that rule is for blocks of
+ ideographs etc. for which no names are listed in the file. Such blocks must
+ end on the actual last character.</li>
+ <li>Blocks must be non-overlapping and in ascending order. Namelines
+ must be in ascending order and following the block header for the block to
+ which they belong.</li>
+ <li>Reserved entries are optional, and will be supplied automatically. They
+ are required whenever followed by ALIAS_LINE, COMMENT_LINE or CROSS_REF</li>

<li>Use of Latin-1 is supported in unibook.exe, but not portably, unless the file is encoded as

<li>The final LF in the file must be present</li>
- <li>A CHAR inside ' or " is expanded, but only its glyph image is printed, the
