Every Unicode character has a name, like "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A". A Unicode character name may contain only uppercase letters, white spaces, and the minus sign.
Write a program that reads a text and outputs the names of each character on a new line. For example, if the input were "Hello, World!", the output would be
LATIN CAPITAL LETTER H
LATIN SMALL LETTER E
LATIN SMALL LETTER L
LATIN SMALL LETTER L
LATIN SMALL LETTER O
COMMA
SPACE
LATIN CAPITAL LETTER W
LATIN SMALL LETTER O
LATIN SMALL LETTER R
LATIN SMALL LETTER L
LATIN SMALL LETTER D
EXCLAMATION MARK
- Input should come from a file or from user input, not just a string in code.
- Output should be written to a file or stdout or printed to the screen.
- Internet and external libraries are not allowed, all necessary data should be in the code.
- Assume that the input only contains printable ASCII characters in the Basic Latin code range 32-126. You can ignore a trailing newline.
- All programming languages allowed. Shortest code in bytes wins.
The official Unicode character names can be found here. Other sources:

Hi, I've gone ahead and edited your question, roll back if you disagree. You don't need more sources of the information, you need one, normative version in the question, to avoid issues with discrepancies. I picked http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~tomw/java/unicode.html#x0000 as it was the most concise. Other than that, +1

Apparently the values are available as part of Windows, in
C:\Windows\System32\getuname.dll. Does this also count as an "external library", even if it's built in to Windows? – lc. – 2015-09-07T12:18:11.4306I just learned the word solidus. – Luke – 2015-09-23T18:20:02.583
