I'm not sure that this is even possible. Definitely not on Wayland. On X, I suppose it could get the info from xkb, but only for things registered that way.
What are you trying to accomplish with this?
It's a question of basic usability. When I want to type an "international" character, it would be nice to see how to do it without having to root around in keyboard files. Accents are easy as I use dead keys (áéíóúñ) but other things are harder, e.g. the Spanish upside-down question mark which I can never remember how to get. I'm frankly surprised that no-one seems to have brought this up before. I'm only a very occasional Mac user, but this kind of thing is something Apple has got right. Of course they have the advantage of complete control over the platform.
