I wish (and possible Rick as well after all the trouble he had finding out
the well obscured meaning) that people who can't bear to use official
terminology at least provide in-line glosses for their private use
terminology. Unicode is at times accused of being hard to understand -
whether that's true or not, there's no reason to make it purposefully
obscure to the uninitiated.
