When you type C-u C-x = on a composed characters, Emacs
displays how it is composed.  For instance, when a buffer
contains the sequence "a" "U+300" "U+316" composed into one
glyph, and you type C-u C-x = on it, Emacs shows something
like this information.

[...]
Composed with the following character(s) "̖́" using this font:
                                         ^^^^
  xft:-Misc-Fixed-normal-normal-normal-*-20-*-*-*-c-*-iso10646-1
by these glyphs:
[...]

As each character ocupies one column in the part "̖́", you can
easily put cursor on any of a character and type C-u C-x =.

Isn't it good enough?
