I miscalculated. C-x 8 RET codepoint RET is 8 characters (or 9).
Thus, to see 32 characters' glyphs that way, I'd need to type
between 256 and 288 input characters.

That is a lot less input than the other method, and is sort of usable,
but inconvenient. I tried it in that very case.
It includes Coptic characters as well as Greek; I don't know why.
It also includes many punctuation characters, and letters with diacritics,
that are in a different part of Unicode, and are not normal Greek letters.
If I could see the glyphs of the area of Unicode which alpha is in, I could
easily see the character I want.
And when I want to enter some non-ASCII punctuator, if I could see
the glyphs of that part of Unicode, it would be easy.
I don't want to have to remember their official names.
