Re: single-key-description no good for Japanese and Chinese chars

    Both 20864 and 20992 are generic characters, i.e. not an
    acutual character but a code representing a group of
    characters (a charset or a row of characters).  For
    instance, (insert 20864) signals an invalid-character error.

Ok, I see.

    As (split-char 20864) => (japanese-jisx0208-1978 35 0),
    the description can be changed to "Characters in row 35 of
    character set JISX0208.1978 (Japanese): ISO-IR-42 - 20864"
    if that is more useful.

I think that is the right approach, but please delete a few
unnecessary words.   Perhaps

"Generic char 20864: row 35 of JISX0208.1978 (Japanese)"
