PUA codepoints are no less portable than glyph names. A small-caps a can
have a PUA codepoint U+E341 in one font and a PUA codepoint U+F342 in
another (or none at all), and it can be called "A.small", "A.smcp",
"A.sc", "a.small", "a.smcp", "a.sc" or even "Asmall" (but that is not
recommended). Each font vendor has their own glyph naming scheme for the
glyph naming suffixes, for arbitrary ligatures there are several
alternative naming options possible etc.
