Descriptions for characters and blocks

Descriptions for characters and blocks are located in separate files.

There are 3 file formats: plain text, HTML and AxyML-marking. The format is determined by the file extension.

For example. A description of Cyrillic block in German version is located in one of the following files:

loc/de/blocks/cyrillic.txt
loc/de/blocks/cyrillic.html
loc/de/blocks/cyrillic.axyml

Another example. A description of character U+1F2E in English version is located in one of the following files:

loc/en/symbols-desc/1F2E.txt
loc/en/symbols-desc/1F2E.html
loc/en/symbols-desc/1F2E.axyml
