I'm not sure I understand what you'd like to see there in addition to what is shown (the codepoint in hex). That diamond means that your terminal cannot display this codepoint, so Emacs cannot usefully show you what it looks like (it does show it on my system, where that character can be displayed). Given that your terminal cannot display this character, what would help you to know more? We could perhaps display the Unicode name of the character (COMBINING MACRON), would that help? Alternatively, you could go to that character and type "C-u C-x =", which would then show the full information about it.
