Let's not spend valuable time searching Webster or Black's Law Dictionary for
the meanings of "public" and "private." Unicode employs a very specific
definition for the purpose of discussing "private-use characters," namely
that any character used in the Unicode framework, but not explicitly defined
by the Unicode standard, is considered "private."
