Yes. It happens for a few Unicode fonts right.

Well, the menu's title is just its title, going back to GNU Emacs 20.  
Parts of MULE are probably really used when you need to convert a  
file or when you type C-u C-x = on some character ...

I get for example:

         character: „ (8222, #o20036, #x201e)
preferred charset: iso-8859-13 (ISO/IEC 8859/13)
        code point: 0xA5
            syntax: . 	which means: punctuation
       buffer code: #xE2 #x80 #x9E
         file code: #xE2 #x80 #x9E (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
           display: by this font (glyph code)
      -B&H-LucidaTypewriter-Medium-R-Normal-Sans-10-100-75-75-M-60- 
ISO10646-1 (#x201E)

        character: “ (8220, #o20034, #x201c)
preferred charset: iso-8859-13 (ISO/IEC 8859/13)
        code point: 0xB4
            syntax: . 	which means: punctuation
          category: c:Chinese h:Korean j:Japanese
       buffer code: #xE2 #x80 #x9C
         file code: #xE2 #x80 #x9C (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
           display: by this font (glyph code)
      -B&H-LucidaTypewriter-Medium-R-Normal-Sans-10-100-75-75-M-60- 
ISO10646-1 (#x201C)

If you're not confused, you're not paying attention.
