statusline, display hand-defined IPA or other arbitrary text for character under cursor

In my 'set statusline' in .gvimrc, I have a very helpful 0x%04B code that displays the hex code point value (minimum four hex digits, zero padded) of the buffer character under the cursor.

In addition to that, I'd like to be able to display an arbitrary hand-defined character or string of characters that might represent the pronunciation (e.g. in the International Phonetic Alphabet) or a keymap input sequence.

In particular, I have defined a Japanese-hiragana keymap that allows me to type hi, which is intercepted by the keymap, which places the Japanese hiragana character 0x3072 in the (g)vim buffer. The line in the keymap looks like this:

hi <Char-0x3072>

That works just fine.
But in addition, I'd essentially like the status line to display the reverse, such that when the cursor is on a 0x3072 character, I'd also like the statusline to display (for my own benefit) the letters hi. I don't expect vim to know that 0x3072 should cause "hi" to be displayed in the statusline---rather I would define that somewhere, in a kind of reverse-keymap file.

The same mechanism could be used to display IPA symbols, or whatever, when the cursor is on a Greek, Russian, Georgian, or whatever character.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Ken
