I'm attempting to insert a sensible continuation character for program listings. I don't want to use "\" or "...", since there is a risk that the reader of the document would misinterpret those as characters to be typed.

So the effect I'm going for is this:

In that mock-up, I have three lines of text, all of which break. The arrow indicates that the line is continued.

The Courier typeface doesn't provide the symbols that I want, so I'd ideally like to be able to insert the hyphenation character in the ZapfDingbats typeface.

WHich assumes all your readers have that font available?

the \ character is (IMHO) far more generally used for this purpose.
If you add a note as to its use prior to the first usage in the document
you may save trouble for readers and clarify any misunderstandings.
