Oops, right! But the result is not a status line, but a new window with _lots_
of information, like this (for a different character):
---
             position: 146 of 146 (99%), column: 0
            character:   (displayed as  ) (codepoint 8199, #o20007, #x2007)
    preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
code point in charset: 0x2007
               script: symbol
               syntax:   	which means: whitespace
             category: .:Base
             to input: type "C-x 8 RET 2007" or "C-x 8 RET FIGURE SPACE"
          buffer code: #xE2 #x80 #x87
            file code: not encodable by coding system iso-latin-1-dos
              display: by this font (glyph code)
    uniscribe:-outline-Courier
New-normal-normal-normal-mono-13-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1 (#x03)

Character code properties: customize what to show
  name: FIGURE SPACE
  general-category: Zs (Separator, Space)
  decomposition: (noBreak 32) (noBreak ' ')

There are text properties here:
  fontified            nil
---

What I'd like to see is something like this:
"Char:   (8199, #o20007, #x2007, "FIGURE SPACE") point=146 of 146 (99%)
column=0"
