> I really don't understand the purpose of this request. 
I see many:
- to discover other input methods which may also work for your characters; for instance you might have been using an input method for mathematical characters but then you discover that your preferred-language input method can also output them
- to compare input sequences needed for each character. For instance "古" is "gu32" in chinese-tonepy but it is just "jr" in chinese-cns-tsangchi, so I will be tempted to use the shorter version
- to learn a particular input method by example, just by seeing how to touch type a character and typing it below… without having to resort to searching that character in the Internet. I have needed such a feature many times.

It doesn't have to be on C-u C-x = necessarily, it could be another function.
