Displaying the list of Thai characters loads thai-util.el, which
deliberately overwrites the names derived from the Unicode Character
Database with its own variants.  I'm CC'ing Handa-san, who added that
code back in 2008, in the hope that he could tell why are we doing
that, and whether this is still needed nowadays.

Thanks.
