Which is correct: you need to (require 'descr-text).

> Whereas ‘M-x describe-function RET’ tells correctly:
>

> describe-char-display is a byte-compiled Lisp function in
> ‘descr-text.el’.
> 
> (describe-char-display POS CHAR)

Which is also correct.

So what is it that you are complaining about here?
