The IM framework's response to this challenge is twofold:
. typing characters that could be part of a recognized input
sequence shows in the echo area the candidates for the next
character;
. C-h C-\ RET shows the full chart of the supported sequences and
the corresponding characters.
The latter possibility is a close equivalent of "C-x 8 RET" for the
case that the use doesn't know the name of the symbol even
approximately. (In the "C-x 8 RET" case, the user would just type
"C-x 8 RET TAB" to get the list of possible completions.)
