Yes, that was my guess, and actually i would not cache such
trivial key val relations either.

Then a minor detail is as follows:

M-x insert-char 79c1 RET
;; ok character appear
C-b
M-x describe-char RET
;; Line 8 shows:
;; to input: type "C-x 8 RET 79c1" or "C-x 8 RET CJK IDEOGRAPH-79C1"

Shouldn't `describe-char' omit the input method by unicode name in 
those cases?
