Hi

In my ~/.vimrc, I have configured the statusline to
show the Unicode character (something like U+00E9
for é) of the character under the cursor, as well as its
UTF-8 sequence (something like 0xc3 0xa9 for é).

It looks like this (cursor on the é):

See statusline and function ShowUtf8Sequence() there:
