I believe you're confused:

    ELISP> (symbol-function 'describe-char-display)
    nil
    ELISP> (help-fns--analyze-function 'describe-char-display)
    *** Eval error ***  Symbol’s function definition is void: describe-char-display
    ELISP> 

My crystal ball suggests you have tested these in an Emacs where
`descr-text` happened to be loaded already.
