C-u C-x 8 RET GREEK CAPITAL LETTER PSI RET
C-b
C-u C-x =

Buffer *Help* says this, for field `to input':

  type "C-x 8 RET HEX-CODEPOINT" or "C-x 8 RET NAME"

It should instead be able to say something like this:

  type "C-x 8 RET 0x03A8" or "C-x 8 RET GREEK CAPITAL LETTER PSI"

Both of these pieces of information are shown in the same buffer
*Help*.  It seems a bit silly to tell a user to type HEX-CODEPOINT or
NAME, when these are known when *Help* is created.
