Would it be possible for the IDE to pop-up an enlarged image of a character >$7f when the mouse hovered over it?
I anticipate that most people probably won't embed too much of this sort of thing in their sourcecode, but when they do being able to see easily that a character was e.g. ? rather than ? could be useful.
