It is kdelibs which provides the widget (KCharSelect class), so it cannot be directly changed in the kcharselect program. Maybe the best option is to provide a virtual function in the KCharSelect class which returns an empty string in its default implementation. This function's return value is pasted where the LaTeX code is shown now (below the XML code, which BTW is irrelevant for Calligra users, too). The kcharselect program could have its own class which inherits KCharSelect and re-implements this virtual function to return LaTeX codes.

To spin this idea further, KCharSelect could get refactored to have a simple plugin architecture, which would load the XML code or LaTeX code implemenation upon the user's request ...

About the port to KF5, unfortunately I don't have the resources (time, ...) to compile it locally. Maybe someone else could take the step of porting my KDE 4.11+ code to KF5.
