longlines-show-effect

[John J Foerch]

Hello,

In longlines-mode, the default value of longlines-show-effect uses the
paragraph symbol (¶) to denote a hard newline.  I wonder if the newline
symbol (↵) would be a more appropriate default.  A hard newline in a
longlines buffer only sometimes represents a paragraph break, and the
paragraph symbol is a more complex glyph that makes the buffer look
cluttered and hard to read when there are a lot of hard newlines.

Thank you

FWIW, the newline symbol (really U+21B5 DOWNWARDS ARROW WITH CORNER
LEFTWARDS) shows up in my emacs buffer as just a square.

And so does U+23CE RETURN SYMBOL.
