When I do C-x =, what I am really looking for is
file code: 0xFA 0xF3
but I have to do C-u C-x = to see it.
It seems more useful than any of the stuff from plain C-x =, at least
for a Chinese big5 char. I have to type an extra C-u for each one.
Sometimes I even type C-u x by accident. [Inserts xxxx]
Wait, I see the problem, in Help:
If the character is encoded into one byte, that code is shown in hex.
If the character is encoded into more than one byte, just "..." is
shown.
Well, I'd say the "file code" would be more valuable here than the
"..." or that old octal jazz in the mini-buffer.
I see there is also (describe-char-after), OK, but let's say we just
want the minibuffer report, real brief...
