Summary: Some incorrect national characters (Polish) in unicodedata

Initial Comment:
Hello,

This problem regards pythonwin (I haven't checked whether unix/commandline python is affected), Python 2.5.1.

Examples on attached screenshot.

E.g. print u'\N{LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH CIRCUMFLEX}' prints wrong character (latin small a with some caret above it it seems) as well as 

print unicodedata.name( / latin small letter a with circumflex, typed in Windows using Polish "programmer's keyboard" / ) produces 'SUPERSCRIPT ONE', which is obviously incorrect.

This sounds more like a problem with entry of Unicode characters in
pythonwin than the unicodedata module.

Please create a test.py file with the character using e.g. UTF-8 as source
code encoding and run that through the Python interpreter directly to see
if the problem persists.
