This is an ineresting idea. May be J use overstrike using latex if it can make
j expression easier to recognise.

 \"a\"b\"c\"d\"e\"f\"g\"<\">\"?\",\".\"[\"+\"=\"-\"*                            
                              
 \.a\.b\.c\.d\.e\.f\.g\.<\.>\.?\~,\~.\.[\.+\.=\.-\.* 

moinmoin seem have trouble with this, but latex itself should be ok.

唐詩142 韓翃  酬程延秋夜即事見贈
    長簟迎風早  空城澹月華  星河秋一雁  砧杵夜千家
    節候看應晚  心期臥亦賒  向來吟秀句  不覺已鳴鴉
