    Section 24.1.13 of the Unicode 17.0 Core Spec states that:
    "The page headers for the code charts are based on the normative values of the Block property defined in Blocks.txt in the Unicode Character Database, with a few exceptions." and indeed it seems that only the first two block names differ so far, possibly for legacy reasons (conformity with ISO?).

    "Basic Latin" !== "C0 Controls and Basic Latin"
    "Latin-1 Supplement" !== "C1 Controls and Latin-1 Supplement"

    There is a entry in the #Unicode #CodeCharts which has been puzzling me since a while ago, both in the English and French version:

    10F45 SOGDIAN INDEPENDENT SHIN
    → 6240 所

    10F45 CHINE INDÉPENDANT SOGDIEN
    → 6240 所

    Fortunately, I was able to find some explanation in the #CoreSpec - Chapter 14:

    "The repertoire includes one phonogram, U+10F45 𐽅 SOGDIAN INDEPENDENT SHIN, an alternate form of isolated shin, used to transcribe one Chinese character, U+6240 所."

    Now, I can die in peace…

    I just found incidentally this interesting document about Unicode code charts; still a draft, I believe it is new in Unicode 18.0...

    🔗 unicode.org/Public/draft/chart

    And of course, there is chapter 24 of the outstanding "Core Spec": About the Code Charts.
