Maybe "The Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List" (http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/symbols/comprehensive/symbols-a4.pdf) could be helpfull in some cases. But many of the 5913 symbols and their equivalent LaTeX command depends on packages that may or may not work with XeLaTeX. \usepackage{xunicode} can help, it's worth to seek out the xunicode.sty file and examine its content (try: less `kpsewhich xunicode.sty`)

BTW, the LaTeX equivalent of the TeX-command \char... is \symbol{...}, e.g. \symbol{"20AC}. Not much difference but a little bit more readable for LaTeX users IMO.
