Here's another patch (against the current version). It shows both the 
codepoint and the name.

BTW, you don't have to use a regular expression to split a string into 
characters, simply iterating through it does the trick:

OK, now I see that the script displays information about every character 
in the selection. Adding more info might be a space problem.

Another problem: Using Ctrl-Shift-U as the shortcut hides the "Convert 
To Lowercase" command.
