Line 26:

The following Unicode categories do not have a Name value assigned: Controls (General Category: Cc), Private use (Co), Surrogate (Cs), Non-characters (Cn) and Reserved (Cn). They may be referenced, informally, by a generic or specific meta-name, called "Code Point Labels": {{not a typo|<control>, <control-0088>, <reserved>, <noncharacter-''hhhh''>, <private-use-''hhhh''>, or <surrogate>}}. Since these labels contain "<" and ">", they can never appear in a Name, which prevents confusion.

==={{anchor|Version 1.0 names}}Unicode 1.0 names===

In version 2.0 of Unicode, many names were changed. From then on the rule "a name will never change" came into effect, including the strict (normative) use of alias names. Disused Unicode 1.0 names were moved to the property Alias, to provide backward compatibility.

For example, {{Unichar|264}} has the Unicode 1.0 name "LATIN SMALL LETTER BABY GAMMA".
