For the curious:

  $ python -c 'print(list(map(__import__("unicodedata").name, "ന്ന")))'
  ['MALAYALAM LETTER NA', 'MALAYALAM SIGN VIRAMA', 'MALAYALAM LETTER NA']

(The "pypyp" package, by Python core dev and mypy maintainer Shantanu Jain, makes this easier:)

  $ pyp 'map(unicodedata.name, "ന്ന")'
  MALAYALAM LETTER NA
  MALAYALAM SIGN VIRAMA
  MALAYALAM LETTER NA
