Request: Readable C0 Control Characters in Hexdump
I would like to be able to distinguish between the non-printable characters and have them display as something other than dots.
To improve readability / recognition could you either…
A) Display the C0 control characters (range:0-32,127) as the Unicode "control pictures" characters
B) Print the control character itself. In this case, if the font is Cascadia Code and the ss20 stylistic set enabled, then those control characters will be displayed as the control pictures.
For example: https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code/releases/tag/v2102.03
Perhaps there are technical limitations, but I'd really like to be able to know what character / value I'm looking at WITHOUT using the data inspector. (Too many bytes; takes too long.)I (also) would like to be able to distinguish between the non-printable characters and have them display as something other than dots.
