>
> Complete Characters
>
> A custom completion function is available to complete characters using

> will display all digraphs, that are reachable from the previous typed
> letter.

> Identify Characters

> The :UnicodeName command can be used to identify the character under the

> also states a possibility to map this command to the ga builtin
> command), but it also displays the digraph character (if it exists) and
> the HTML entity.

> The :SearchUnicode command can be used to search in the unicode
> character table to search for a certain unicode character with a given
> name or value.
>
> The :UnicodeTable can be used to generate an Unicode table, including
> HTML entity names and Digraph chars. The UnicodeTable will be nicely
> syntax highlighted.
>
> Ease the use of Digraphs
>
> Use the :Digraphs command to search for an digraph with the given name
> (e.g. :Digraphs copy will display all digraphs that will create a
> character name which contains copy in its name). You can also search for
> the decimal value. This plugin also maps the key <F4> that will allow to
> transform 2 given normal chars into their digraph char.

> Usage

> Once installed, take a look at the help at :h unicode-plugin

> Here is a short overview of the functionality provided by the plugin:
> Ex commands:
>
> :Digraphs - Search for specific digraph char
> :SearchUnicode - Search for specific unicode char
> :UnicodeName - Identify character under cursor (like ga command)
> :UnicodeTable - Print Unicode Table in new window
> :DownloadUnicode - Download (or update) Unicode data
>
> Normal mode commands:
>
> <C-X><C-G> - Complete Digraph char
> <C-X><C-Z> - Complete Unicode char
> <F4> - Combine characters into digraphs
>
> Scripting Functions:
>
> unicode#FindUnicodeBy() - Find unicode characters
> unicode#FindDigraphBy() - Find Digraph char
> unicode#Digraph() - Returns digraph char
> unicode#UnicodeName() - Identifies unicode character (by value)

Hello Christian,
the request on GitHub (by me) was specifically about the `:UnicodeName` command (and mapping it to `ga`) as a better alternative to the built-in `ga`.
It could come coupled with `:DownloadUnicode` to download the latest Unicode data on demand.
All other functions, while very useful, extend but do not replace existing Vim functions (for example, they set up their proper mappings such as `<leader>un`). Therefore these maybe are better supplied on demand than by default.
