In fact, it's the same as `describe-char'. This command invokes
`what-cursor-position', which invokes `describe-char' eventually.

Cool, I didn't notice its name may be prefixed by its script. It does
make a lot sense.
However sadly, not all characters do so. For example, a CJK character
has prefix CJK.
But cjk is not a script name (though there's a script called cjk-misc)
and it should belong
to `han'.
What's worse is, some characters don't show their names at all, even if
I assign a font to it.
For example:
position: 806 of 1031 (78%), column: 1
character: 😀 (displayed as 😀) (codepoint 128512,
#o373000, #x1f600)
preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
code point in charset: 0x1F600
syntax: w which means: word
category: L:Left-to-right (strong)
buffer code: #xF0 #x9F #x98 #x80
file code: #xF0 #x9F #x98 #x80 (encoded by coding system
utf-8-unix)
display: no font available
Character code properties: customize what to show
general-category: Cn (Other, Not Assigned)
decomposition: (128512) ('😀')
