title: Unicode character by name
body: <p>It is possible in julia 0.6 obtain the unicode character by its name?</p>
  
  <p>In python it is possible by doing</p>
  
  <pre><code>s = u'\N{SECTION SIGN}'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>There is something alike?
  I know I can do</p>
  
  <pre><code>s =  '\u00a3'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I want to do it by name.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
