So this obviously depends on the font > used for the indicator character. Sorry for jumping in late without having followed the whole discussion. Here's a naive question: is there any reason to use an actual glyph from a face to draw that line, rather than just a continuous line? A good analogy might be the way window separators ("vertical borders") are drawn: when I use a non-graphical Emacs it uses a series of '|' characters to draw separations between windows, but when I use a graphical Emacs (with scroll-bars-mode off) it draws a solid black line, or at least that's what I understand from e.g. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2013-01/msg00257.html. Sorry if I missed something obvious. Clément.
