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.
Yes - Zapf Dingbats is one of the 14 base fonts that are guaranteed
to be available for PDF files - unless your experience suggests
otherwise? It certainly always seems to have been fine for me.
I'd also like to indent the continuation lines to make things a bit
clearer (as I did in my example) - is that something that anyone has
attempted?
