If you are talking only about whitespace chars then you can use
`whitespace-mode' to show them highlighted in various ways or
contexts. See the Emacs manual, node `Useless Whitespace' for more
information.

You can also use library `highlight-chars.el' to do this.  It lets you
highlight any characters pretty much any way you like.  It is available
from MELPA or Emacs Wiki (the wiki is down at the moment, however).
