Unicode alias names and abbreviations

An alias too is unique over all names and aliases, and therefore identifying.

The formal name consists of characters A–Z (uppercase), 0–9, " " (space), and "-" (hyphen).

There are five possible reasons to assign an alias name to a code point.

These labels may not be unique and may use irregular characters in their name.

They are used in Unicode code charts, for example U+070F   SYRIAC ABBREVIATION MARK: SAM.
