It is a known issue, but I figured a ticket is not going to hurt.

Code​:
say ‘ð�¦�’.uniname

Result​:
<reserved>

Expected Result​:
BUTTERFLY

Works now, and added a test in S15-unicode-information/uniname.t to verify it works.

There are some further issues that need resolving as a result of bumping to Unicode 9, however. The NFG algorithm will need updates due to changes in the grapheme boundary specification to add support for emoji. There are already two RT issues tracking that issue, so I'll resolve this one given we've done what it says. :-)
