As Google search found much more pages of "hex code" than
"hexa code", ok, I'll change the name..

Ah, I forgot to mention about that. At first, empty-box,
hexa-code, and acronym are displayed by using a new face
glyphless-char which is defined as this.
(defface glyphless-char
'((((type tty)) :inherit underline)
(t :height 0.6))
...)
And, for tty, as it's impossible to do the same thing as
graphic terminal, the current code does this:
thin-space: same as empty-box
hexa-code: display "U+XX", "U+XXXX", "U+XXXXXX" ,
"E+XXXXXX" depends on the character code (the last
one is for a character of code >= #x110000).
acronym: surround an acronym by "[" and "]" as this:
"[ZWNJ]", "[LRE]"
At the moment, that is hardcoded in the function
produce_glyphless_glyph of term.c.
And, for tty, `no-font' means a character not encodable by
the terminal coding system.

I thought that name was too long, but if people prefer it, I
don't mind renaming to it.
