Would it show the font and the codepoint chosen in the font? [I'm not
on X, so cannot check myself]

What you say is: the "hello world" example will have the same result
of C-u C-x = on all the machines. So I do not see how it would help me...

You are discussing a default font; which is not under the control of
Emacs. I'm discussing Cyrillic font, which is not under *my* control
(as far as I know now).
