Environment
Cascadia Code version number: 1910.04
Application (with version) used to display text: BBEdit 13.0.1
OS platform and version: macOS 10.14.6 (18G103)
Screen resolution (i.e. 220dpi): n/a
Any other software?
Steps to reproduce
-
Download and install BBEdit 13.0.1. It is available from the BBEdit downloads page: https://www.barebones.com/support/bbedit/updates.html. (If you are running an older version of macOS, you can use an older version of BBEdit.)
-
Open a text file which contains spaces, nonbreaking spaces, and tabs.
-
Click the small gear above the upper left corner of the edit view to open the Text Options popover.
-
Turn on "Show Invisibles." Make sure that "Show Spaces" is turned on as well.
Expected behavior
=> Invisibles placeholders shown for spaces, tabs, and line breaks. (Attached screen shot using Inconsolata for reference.)

Actual behavior
=> "missing glyph" placeholder shown for tabs

BBEdit uses the following code points for invisibles glyph substitution:
0x00B7, // space -> dot
0x2022, // nbsp -> bullet
0x2206, // tab -> delta
0x00AC, // CR -> not sign
0x00B6, // FF -> paragraph
0x007C, // zero width -> vertical bar
0x00BF, // all others -> inverted question mark
