RE: Option to show control characters

Hi Chan,

Thanks for the feedback.

I have just done a bit of research on the issue and I think the problem is the font you are using to display the characters rather than the characters themselves. "" is a common symbol that fonts use to display a character when no character could be found.

I think the only other thing we could do here is convert control characters to their Unicode representations. For example: ESC is "\u001b". This is still cryptic, but it would at least give you an idea of what is being displayed.

Hope that helps,

Toby
