It's me. Actually, as far as I remember, the early version
of UCD was not clear about the property values of characters
not listed in UCD, and the early version of unidata-gen.el
was created at that time . After that, I have not checked
the precise definitions of updated UCDs.

I've just installed fixes. In the latest code,
get-char-code-property never return nil for these
properties:
name, general-category, canonical-combining-class,
bidi-class, decomposition, mirrored, old-name,
iso-10646-comment.
But, it still returns nil for these properties ("string
property" in UCD terminology):
decimal-digit-value, digit-value, numeric-value,
uppercase, lowercase, titlecase, mirroring
UCD says that the default value is a character itself for
them, but to implement it, we have to fill all char-table
elements by corresponding characters (which makes the table
very big), or have to implement a special mechanism to
return a character ifself if the value is nil (which I think
is not adequate at the current timing of feature freeze).
So, I just added this kind of statement in the docstring.
The value nil means that the actual property value of a
character is the character itself.
