I needed to see such tiny numbers just today, just the four of them in
the tiny box. So I pressed C-+ a few times to _make_ the text huge,
obtained my information, and returned to my normal text size with C--.

Perfect. Usually all I need to know is that I have a character for
which I don't have a glyph, but this time I wanted to record the
number because I was testing things rather than reading the text.
