unicode character '\N{ }'

I learned from http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/unicode/python.html that
one can specify a unicode character by u'\N {name of the character}'.

Is there any method that I do the reverse of this process? For example,
when
I have a unicode character '£', uc.method() should return the character name
'POUND SIGN' in str format.
