Thanks for the hint.  For me C-ux = yields :
            character: 𝜖 (displayed as 𝜖) (codepoint 120598, #o353426, #x1d716)
    preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
code point in charset: 0x1D716
               script: mathematical
               syntax: w        which means: word
             category: .:Base, L:Left-to-right (strong)
             to input: type "C-x 8 RET 1d716" or "C-x 8 RET MATHEMATICAL ITALIC 
EPSILON SYMBOL"
          buffer code: #xF0 #x9D #x9C #x96
            file code: #xF0 #x9D #x9C #x96 (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
              display: by this font (glyph code)
