I don't think completing over hex codes is a good idea (it's a very
dehumanising interface), and I don't think adding a variable to switch
it off or on is, either.
But what you really want is (it seems to me) to be able to list all
characters from a Unicode block, because you know where the character
is, but you want to find a specific one in that neighbourhood. So the
"hex completion" is just an artefact here. Instead, perhaps there
should be a new command to complete over Unicode block names, and then
list the characters in that block, and allow you to choose one of them?
