I just noticed that I forgot to push 'mufi-name.el' to the repository
(https://github.com/jsbien/unicode4polish/). I have done it now. Below
is a fragment:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

(define-char-code-property 'name
  #^[nil nil char-code-property-table nil #^^[1 0 nil nil nil nil nil
  
[...]

J JJ C K T P H] [A AE YA YAE EO E YEO YE O WA WAE OE YO U WEO WE WI YU EU YI I] 
[G GG GS N NJ NH D L LG LM LB LS LT LP LH M B BS S SS NG J C K T P H]]]]
  "Unicode character name.
Property value is a string or nil.
The value nil stands for the default value \"null string\").")

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I expected that the names of the PUA MUFI characters will be added to
the existing Unicode names. However after evaluating it 'describe-char'
doesn't show the names of the Unicode character. I assume the culprit is
'mufi-name.el' but of course the problem can be more complicated.
