Actually, I think it would be best to display a character that isn't shown all
the time and would stand out to the user, maybe the glyph used to display
ASCII 1 (a smiley face). Then make it a FAQ so that users can readily search
for it and know why it displays certain text strangely.
No, I'm not kidding.
