UAX #34 has the following to say about unique naming of character 
sequences, and by extension, characters:

> R3:  Like character names, names for sequences are unique if they are 
> different even when SPACE and medial HYPHEN-MINUS characters are 
> ignored, and when the strings “LETTER”, “CHARACTER”, and “DIGIT” are 
> ignored in comparison of the names.
>
> The following two character names are exceptions to this rule, because 
> they were created before this rule was specified:
>
> 116C HANGUL JUNGSEONG OE
> 1180 HANGUL JUNGSEONG O-E
>
> Examples of unacceptable names that are not unique:
>
> SARATI LETTER AA
> SARATI CHARACTER AA

I'm wondering if this rule applies to the string "LETTER" in the 
following character names:

U+210C  BLACK-LETTER CAPITAL H
U+2111  BLACK-LETTER CAPITAL I
U+211C  BLACK-LETTER CAPITAL R
U+2128  BLACK-LETTER CAPITAL Z
U+212D  BLACK-LETTER CAPITAL C

In other words, would a hypothetical character name "BLACK CHARACTER 
CAPITAL H" violate this rule?

(This is not meant as a joke, by the way; I'm playing around with 
algorithms for efficient storage of character names.)
