Yes, I was thinking about that as well but refrained from it since there are some descriptions with bracketed stuff …
Still, it’s just some sort of identifier so I don’t care about the name.

That’s nice. I wonder if we could even go one step further then and merge ranges.json with glyphnames.json?
Otherwise the information would somehow be redundant. I mean, I can easily look up all glyphs from a given range in glyphnames.json just by the codepoints (ok, it’s a bit messy when the programming language of your choice does not support hex numbers natively).
Maybe even classnames.json does not need to be a separate file? The classes could also be added (as an array) to the appropriate glyphnames?

Many thanks for all your efforts!
