Then assign that font to the region face in Emacs. It's a brute-force approach, but should be pretty effective.

Aug 18 at 0:14 comment converted from answer cochrane12 Are you by any chance looking for whitespace-mode?
Aug 18 at 0:05 comment added phils What do invisible characters have to do with evil? Do you mean visible-mode rather than visual-mode? Do you mean any character hidden by text properties, or are you talking about "zero-width" unicode characters? Please clarify your question (preferably with examples).
