Adobe's table (or one similar to it) is included in Ghostscript
(AdobeGlyphList), and maybe other interpreters, too.

Here's an old snippet that gets a glyph name (or uniXXXX) based on its
code:

    /RevList AdobeGlyphList length dict dup begin
      AdobeGlyphList { exch def } forall
    end def
    % code -- (uniXXXX)
    /uniX { 16 6 string cvrs dup length 7 exch sub exch
      (uni0000) 7 string copy dup  4 2 roll putinterval } def
    % font code -- glyphname
    /unitoname { dup RevList exch known
      { RevList exch get }
      { uniX cvn } ifelse
      exch /CharStrings get 1 index known not
      { pop /.notdef } if
    } def

(It doesn't contemplate several names per code... I thought it was a
1-1 relationship.)

If you know you are dealing with modern fonts that include the uni/u
aliases, you can get rid of the Adobe table lookup altogether... You
don't need the canonical glyph names for those fonts.
