I contend that the unicode character name is more meaningful to the user
than the numeric glyph codes.  I hope someone will extend the display
of all the composants, now implemented on TTYs, to graphic displays as well.

It doesn't affect me personally since I normally run Emacs only on TTYs,
but I expect it will help other users.
