Subject: list of abbreviated character names

Hello

I work professionally with type and am constantly using your website for
reference.

I am desperately looking for a list which gives NOT the full character
description given in the Names List (eg LATIN CAPITAL S WITH CARON) but
the abbreviated name (eg Scaron)

This extremely useful shorthand method of naming the glyphs is used in
font-editing applications such as Fontographer and FontLab.

Does such an official list exist?

If so, can you please direct me to where I can download it?

Many thanks

Regards

Kevin Brown
