You can set the imageSource of the non-printing characters. They will
remain spaces, tabs, and returns, but can have a small image (you will
have to make or find) displayed in their place. See imageSource in the
Dictionary.
set the imageSource of character to {imageID |imageName |imageURL |empty}

Thanks Bob. I did mean non-printing characters. I think just space, tab and
return.
The problem with replacing with with a character is that of course it is
not a space any more, so text would not wrap as normal. I need the user to
edit as normal and with normal functionality but see the normally invisible
characters. So seems I would need a native solution. :-(

Not natively. You would have to replace every non-printing character
(that's what you mean by invisible I suppose) with a square digbat or
something. If you want to filter for only printable characters, I have a
function that dies that, and also there are regex strings for that sort of
thing.

Is there any way of seeing invisible characters in a text field, similar
to
the view in text editors and word processors?
