Kim answered this best, if you want the text-property info at the current cursor position: `C-u C-x ='. You might also be interested in this, however, if you don't want to move the text cursor to the text you want the properties of - just point and click the mouse: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/FaceMenuPlus#TextPropertiesMenu. Hold Control and click `mouse-2', then pick Describe Properties in the popup menu. You'll see the text properties for the character you clicked.
