If TRY-ABBREVIATIONS-P is true, NAME is treated as an abbreviation as
follows: If NAME contains a colon, it is interpreted as
\"<script>:<short-name>\" and the function tries to look up, in turn,
the characters named \"<script> <size> LETTER <short-name>\",
\"<script> LETTER <short-name>\", and \"<script> <short-name>\" where
<size> is \"SMALL\" if none of the characters in <short-name> is
uppercase, \"CAPITAL\" otherwise.  If NAME does not contain a colon,
the same algorithm as above is tried with NAME instead of <short-name>
and each element of the list of strings SCRIPTS-TO-TRY as <string>.
\(SCRIPTS-TO-TRY can also be a single string which is interpreted as a
one-element list.)

If TRY-HEX-NOTATION-P is true, NAME can be of the form \"U+<x>\" where
<x> is a hexadecimal number with four to six digits with the obvious
meaning.

If TRY-LISP-NAMES-P is true, the function returns the character with
the character name NAME \(if there is one) or, if NAME is exactly one
character, it returns this character.

All the keyword-governed alternatives are tried in the order they're
described here.
