If all you need is to display something like "U+1234" for a UTF-8
encoding, then it should be easy to make this happen, either in GDB or
by calling a function from your program.

I thought you wanted something much more sophisticated (since text
which looks like "U+1234 U+4321 U+5789" etc. is all not easy to read).
