Unicode named sequences

Is there any way to access the Unicode named sequencies of Unicode characters (a standarized description like "Greek Small Letter Alpha" )?

Those names are NOT encoded in Unicode fonts as such, so there
is no way that LiveCode can pick them up.

The simplest way is to check those names against the standard Unicode PDF documents.
