Vim (MacVim) can display special characters ( ASCII >126). Some work better than others. You have to try. On OSX there is a symbol overview available. Find the perfect characters for you.
set listchars=eol:↲,tab:▶▹,nbsp:␣,extends:…,trail:• "here some more working characters "↩ ↵ ↲ ␣ • … → » ∎ ¶ ▶ ▸ ▷ ▹
