I thought I did but I used the wrong command :-(

Thank you very much for your solution.

So yes, my original problem is solved and you can close the bug report.

This is however not the end of the story. I would like describe-char to
produce the correct name of the PUA character instead of "the
character’s canonical name and other properties defined by the Unicode
Data Base;". I understand this should posted as a separate feature
request.

Best regards

Janusz
