Do we have the rights to copy all key definitions from the X11 compose method?
I guess there are no licensing restrictions?

Yes, displaying a separate buffer would be useful. Then maybe
displaying these keys could be moved from the Help buffer of 'C-h b'
that currently displays a very long list of 'C-x 8' keys at the beginning
of the Help buffer, so it's very difficult to see the keys of the
current mode that are at the end of the long Help buffer.

Maybe also 'C-u C-x =' could suggest how to input characters
using C-x 8 mnemonics.

Yes, to find a more mnemonic and shorter key would be useful.
Maybe this question could be asked on emacs-devel
where someone might have ideas for such a key.

Sorry, I don't understand. I tried to type 'C-h 8', and it's undefined.

I don't know why the Unicode standard uses upper-case, but I see no problem
in Emacs with upper-case letters when case-fold is non-nil, so you can type
lower-case letters in completions.
