C-x = runs the command what-cursor-position.
I used ^u C-x = to get even more info:
character: 他 (0451755, 152557, 0x253ed)
charset: chinese-big5-1 (Frequently used part (A141-C67F) of Big5 (Chinese traditional))
code point: 39 109
syntax: word
category: C:Chinese (Han) characters of 2-byte character sets c:Chinese
|:While filling, we can break a line at this character.
buffer code: 0x98 0xA7 0xED
file code: 0xA5 0x4C (encoded by coding system chinese-big5-unix)
font: -ETen-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--16-150-75-75-C-160-Big5.ETen-0
But I was surprised that nowhere do I find listed the simple A5 L that I can
get here:
$ echo 他|qp-encode
=A5L
Let's try a different char:
$ echo 我|qp-encode
=A7=DA
again, none of what-cursor-position shows this.
Since it is one of the most common formats, what-cursor-position
should show it.

It's the "file code" field. I don't think it's unreasonable for all
the characters there to be represented in hex, as "normalizing" some
of them would only make it more complex to use them programmatically.
/* era */
I took out the big5 character from the echo just to avoid some MIME mess.
