The canonical way of using this feature is with "M-x visual-line-mode", not with toggle-word-wrap. visual-line-mode takes care of removing the fringe indicators as well, so the appearance on GUI frames and TTY frames is the same: without continuation indicators. toggle-word-wrap does part of the job of visual-line-mode, and frankly I don't understand why the former even exists. Making continuation glyphs appear in TTY frames shouldn't be hard, but I don't know how important is that.
