Description:
See documentation 8.2.3. Mapping of Identifiers to File Names http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/identifier-mapping.html.

The table lists ranges of Unicode characters that have uppercase/lowercase mappings. The column "Blocks" in the table has incorrect names. Correct names, as per current Unicode version 6.0, are in: http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/Blocks.txt.

The corrected names would be:
Code range Blocks
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
00C0..017F Latin-1 Supplement + Latin Extended-A
0370..03FF Greek and Coptic
0400..052F Cyrillic + Cyrillic Supplement
0530..058F [OK]
2160..217F [OK]
0180..02AF Latin Extended-B + IPA Extensions
1E00..1EFF Latin Extended Additional
1F00..1FFF [OK]
....  .... [OK]
24B6..24E9 [OK]
FF21..FF5A Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms

How to repeat:
See documentation. The blocks are published e.g. for checking at http://www.unicode.org/charts/

Suggested fix:
Change block names. Rest of the table, and code, unaffected.
