I can't see some characters in Helix while I can see them in other editors

Anyone knows if there is a way to see these characters in Helix, in some similar way as I can see them in these other three editors (Vim, CudaText and ECode)?

Helix is at the upper right part of the screenshot bellow. Character I see in other editors are shown as <feff> in Vim; xFEFF in CudaText; and in ECode editor it looks like some kind of ibeam.

You can enable rendering special characters for whitespace: https://docs.helix-editor.com/editor.html#editorwhitespace-section

That didn't do it. I still can't see or select anything:

Alright, I see the issue. We don't support a whitespace character for that as well as some other whitespace characters. I'll create an issue to track these.
