Unicode Character Code Names

This script generates a JSON files that that map Unicode character codes to their names. If a Unicode 1.0 name is present, it is appended after a slash. There is a minified version which puts all the data on a single line.

The current version of Unicode is 14.0.0 which is what is used here. Whenever Unicode is updated, this file must be regenerated.

Usage
