openSUSE has a patch that changes the invisible-char to "●" (Unicode 0x25CF BLACK CIRCLE).
What happens when the current font is missing that character? Will it try to find another font that has it, or will there be a manual fallback that uses '*' instead? The square-with-hex-numbers isn't a great fallback :-/ .
* The circle is fatter. We should have a no-discrimination policy against Unicode glyphs with an above-average body mass index, I mean, the ink-to-area ratio.
However, there are some who believe (as a result of meticulous research) that a larger ink-to-area ratio increases the risk of certain health problems. I don't think we want our users to suddenly start dropping from their chairs due to heart attacks.
* The circle is BIGGER. Size does matter, you know.
