We have categories, so you can use \cX where X is a single letter
which denotes a category. Se "M-x describe-categories". This is
similar to ?\s, but the available categories are rather ad-hoc.

It's feasible, but is it really useful? How is it different from just
typing the character in the first place?

"C-x =" usually does the job for me.

Could be. I think by default they shouldn't show, but we could have
an option to reveal them.
