If you ask it this way, then it's probably never useful.
But when you use M-: on an expression which returns a character, then
I find it handy to see the character rather than only its integer value.
But maybe this feature is more trouble than it's worth. After all, you
can always use M-: (string <exp>) RET to force Emacs to show you the
character.
