Here is the disconnect. The code charts, with their annotations driven by
https://www.unicode.org/Public/UCD/latest/ucd/NamesList.txt , are a
presentation of glyphs, names and useful additional information.
But the normative data is in NameAliases.txt.

It would be best if you could report the discrepancy via
https://www.unicode.org/reporting.html

The data in NameAliases.txt does not support this interpretation.

Please use only the data in NameAliases.txt.
