With this (set-char-table-extra-slot glyphless-char-display 0 "%") and GNU Emacs 29.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, cairo version 1.16.0) of 2022-08-28 [commit df2f6fb7fc4b79834ae40db8be2ccdc1e4a273f1] it's pretty equivalent IMO. The diamond, from a user perspective, was slightly better since % is an actual char that one use in programming and the diamond wasn't. -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal
