Would that help much? I'm not sure that the codepoint is very useful to most people (and the information is easily available via C-x =)... I think it would be quite useful. First, you would immediately see which of the undisplayable characters are the same. Second, you might come to recognize a few common codepoints, and that would be useful. Whether it's worth the trouble depends on how much trouble that is, which I don't know.
