+non-canonical equivalences.
+
+Each line of the display shows the equivalences in two different
+ways separated by a colon:
+
+ - as the literal character or sequence
+ - using an ASCII-only escape syntax
+
+For example, for the letter \\='r\\=', the first line is
+
+ r: ?\\N{LATIN SMALL LETTER R}
+
+which is for the requested character itself, and a later line has
+
+ ṟ: ?\\N{LATIN SMALL LETTER R}?\\N{COMBINING MACRON BELOW}
+
+which clearly shows what the constituent characters are."
