I meant "CJK COMPATIBILITY IDEOGRAPH-nnnn", sorry for the confusion.
OK, thanks for clarifying. In looking into this, I noticed a curious
ambiguity: 'C-x 8 RET B E D RET' inserts U+0BED (TAMIL DIGIT SEVEN),
whereas it should insert U+1F6CF (BED). BED is currently the only
Unicode name that consists entirely of hexadecimal digits. I installed
the attached patch into master to fix the problem you mentioned, along
with fixing this ambiguity and a couple of other related problems that I
noticed.
Perhaps BED should be renamed, but that's not our job.
