So .XCompose gives us a way to create custom compose sequences, however is it possible to make the input of these sequences visible in the same way that when using Ctrl+Shift+U shows u<HexDigits> while typing the input?

i.e. When using Ctrl+Shift+U you see the escape sequence while it is typed:

Like this:

Can we do the same for .XCompose bindings so that if I have some sequence, say <Multi_key> <a> <b> <c> that when typing that sequence I would see some similar visuals while composing the sequence?

Not as a normal user. It would require delving into the system code to implement such feature.
